After a span of 90 years, Air India has returned to its original owner, the Tata Group, in a significant development for the aviation industry. With this ownership change, Air India is poised to reestablish its presence and compete vigorously in the aviation services sector. The company has ambitious plans to augment its fleet by incorporating new aircraft in the near future.
Nagpur, in particular, stands to benefit from this development as there are prospects of an increase in flights from the city. Inside sources have revealed that Air India is considering commencing flights to Bengaluru and Delhi from the onset of the winter season. Additionally, there are plans to introduce a flight connecting Nagpur to Pune.
Meanwhile, GoFirst flights have been cancelled, causing some disruption. On a positive note, there are indications that Indigo may initiate a new flight route to Mumbai. However, official confirmation regarding this news is still awaited.
The return of Air India to the Tata Group signifies a significant milestone, and its expansion plans offer promising opportunities for both travellers and the aviation industry as a whole.
