Air India has been witnessing sweeping operational changes since Tata Group took control of the airline in January. For the first time in a decade-and-a-half, hiring has been opened for non-flying positions and the airline is firming up a fleet enhancement programme, which includes getting grounded aircraft back in the air as well as fresh leasing, which will result in fleet expansion by 25%. Several new international destinations have been opened up and there is a brand new menu for passengers on board.
