The airline has already taken some steps to cut costs, including reducing the flight allowance for cabin crew and withdrawing the entertainment allowance for executive pilots.

According to information from the source, Air India is considering a 5 percent pay cut for its employees as the airline is facing a huge financial crisis due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
