After a ten-day pilots' strike, Air India now plans to rejig its domestic operations by introducing at least two wide-body aircraft on some high density domestic routes and connecting them to foreign destinations to enhance its operational revenues.

The airline is considering continuing the operations of two twin-aisled Airbus A-330s on Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi- Bangalore-Chennai sectors and connect them further to fly to destinations in the Gulf or Southeast Asia, Air India sources said.

"We want to integrate Dubai, Singapore, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur with our domestic network," they said, adding that the A-330s would operate only as a 'breakfast' or 'dinner' flight.

Air India has resumed fresh bookings but it would take two to three days for the state-owned airline to ensure complete normalcy in its flights.
