It was once the pride of the country and the model for many Asian airlines. Today, it's the butt of countless jokes. This is the rise and fall of India's public airline.

    Pure brutality of corruption. Whom you blame though. Reigned leaders of the world or suffered employees. Or the nation. Could anyone please.

    Worst airline I've been on. The planes rattle like they're about to fall apart. Very poor standards of quality. The planes smell like curry!!

    It was one of the largest airlines in the world and served many decades. I enjoyed from London to Mumbai flight in 2011.

    The reason Air India or any other airlines bankrupt because government stop haj subsidies the haj subsidies directly goes to airlines company no subsidies for pilgrims to ksa before subsidies haji cannot use their choice for airlines now they can choose so in current different airlines give cheap travel cost the main reason airlines in India bankrupt. Politicians free ride with their families totally collapsed airlines of India

    No, we can't afford to let AIR INDIA to fall from the heights it has reached! These could be just turbulence and we could overcome it if the government and the nation are committed to revive it to it's past glory!

    Brut India is so much politically biased......this site always cover the fault of previous govt.perfectly.......always.....Just let people know...who said to tata that "there is nothing called private...." and take the airline as a govt.flagship.....and it was a reason of serving alcohol on flight was an issue....but it can not make a whole airline down.....if brut INDIA has courage then tell every body....how much money is still due by that time govt. Even a small mla of previous govt.travelled by this airline by free of cost.....and the due amount by previous govt. Is near about 450cr....

    Built for Cheapskates. Flown once. Never again. Seat were shaking terribly during flight. Toilet door that cant close properly. Foods were stale. But you can smoke like chimney as majority are and drink, don't start on that. Welcome to alcoholics flight club!

    Ironically I see the analogy of Air India to be of New India.....both will be rendered irrecoverable in future due to the jinxed intervention of Sanghis....Morarji Desai then and Modi now. Panuti for India, that's Hindutva.
