New Delhi, February 04: Air India today said it has posted an operating surplus for the second month in a row with flights to 106 out of 179 destinations registering cash profit in December.
The ailing national carrier posted Rs 49.48 crore worth of operating surplus as against Rs 21.66 crore in November, an Air India spokesperson said.
The continuing trend of making cash profits was largely due to “a significant improvement in efficiency parameters and adoption of better yield management strategies”, the spokesperson claimed.
The national carrier also continued to strengthen its performance in terms of number of passengers carried, total revenues and better yields.
Air India’s combined passenger load factor in December last year was 70 per cent. While its domestic operations recorded a high of 79.8 per cent, the international routes registered a load factor of 67.
