AI change of schedule
I see new flight timings loaded by AI for FRA.
From 1st of December, I see a new flight AI1120 FRA-DEL and the current AI126 will fly to BOM instead of DEL.
Any more information about these schedule changes?

Possible. But at the same time, DEL with a lot of connecting traffic to HYD/BLR/MAA/COK deserves more economy seats than AMD. I really wonder a cut in the capacity to DEL and increase to AMD.
And even then a simple switch between AMD and DEL would have done the trick. I dont get why AI 126 is sent to BOM and the BOM flight to AMD.
And if AMD is seeing more traffic because of the current direct flight to FRA, ^ ^, try a direct flight from HYD to FRA. You would get definitely a flight load from other carriers to connect to US/Europe via FRA. EK serves HYD with 3 widebodies daily, with most of the traffic connecting to US/Europe and AI just a 320. Isnt it our national carrier?

And not sure about all the connecting PAX. They are using DEL as hub and most of the passengers arriving to DEL on AI 126 today seem to be transit passengers.
