Days after taking over the management control of Air India, the Tata Group today said the name of the airline was chosen over 75 years ago through an opinion poll among the company’s employees.
Sharing nuggets of information about the history of the airline, the group said, back in 1946, when Tata Airlines expanded from a division of Tata Sons into a company, a name was to be chosen.
“The choice for the name of India’s first airline company came down to Indian Airlines, Pan-Indian Airlines, Trans-Indian Airlines and Air India,” the Tata Group tweeted.
