Air India takes Rs 60,800 cr cover for its fleet, paid Rs 266 cr premium
Air India, under its new Tata management, has taken a Rs 60,800 crore ($8 billion) cover by paying Rs 266 crore premium to a clutch of insurance companies, including Tata AIG General Insurance.
The airline managed to get a better deal as it valued its fleet lower by almost $2 billion. The new management held extensive negotiations – both in India and London, to get a good deal considering the rising premiums due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. As per the new policy, the airline will not be able to fly over Russian and Ukrainian airspace due to the conflict.
