Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said the airline is in the process of changing its operations and culture as it seeks to rebrand itself as a “top-tier and world-class airline.”
Till a decade ago, roads and railways were major means of transportation between places other than metros and tier 1 cities in India. The inauguration of these airports plays a key role in regional air connectivity.
India is taking steps to make its tourist and pilgrimage destinations more convenient for visitors. These projects are being developed at a rapid pace to boost the country's tourism potential.
The aggressive increase in the fleet size of airlines is accompanied by rapid expansion of operations. The Indian travel industry is rapidly growing, driven by the middle class.
The Indian aviation minister emphasizes the ambitious efforts aimed at building a strong aviation infrastructure to meet the demands of a rapidly-growing economy.
With the airline focusing so many of its turnaround initiatives on the A350, the jet marks a huge opportunity to showcase the new Air India to the world.
