Air India: A name chosen through opinion poll more than 75 years ago
More than 75 years ago, an opinion poll among Tata employees to choose from four names resulted in the country’s first airline company being named as ‘Air India’.
Little over 10 days after formally taking control of Air India, Tata Group on Sunday shared nuggets of information about the history of the full service airline.
Tatas had lost control of Air India nearly seven decades ago before taking it back last month.
Back in 1946, when Tata Air Lines expanded from a division of Tata Sons into a company, a name was to be chosen.
