Air India is reportedly seeking Rs 10,000 crore ($1.14 billion) in financial aid from its owners Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, as it fights multiple issues such as the deadly crash in Ahmedabad in June and airspace restrictions owing to India-Pakistan military confrontations in May.

The Air India's request for financial help includes funding to upgrade its systems and services and to build in-house engineering and maintenance departments, according to a report from Bloomberg, citing sources.

Air India was yet to comment on the report.

Air India is expected to incur losses worth Rs 4,000 crore after Pakistan's airspace restrictions.
