Airlines May Begin to Reduce Domestic Flying

Some bad news for travellers: India's airlines, which are on track to lose more than $2 billion this year, are considering eliminating some of their domestic routes and frequencies as they try to figure out how to cut costs in the current fuel environment. Low fare airlines have been reluctant to raise fares, leaving them with unprofitable routes across their map. Just as travellers have become more accustomed to finding flights available at the times they want, they may have to get used to fewer flights and fuller planes.

But if that's the price of actually having the airlines survive, it's a small price to pay.
