NEW DELHI: The merger of Air India and Indian Airlines, coupled with the unviable decision to purchase 111 new aircraft, contributed to the downfall of Air India, says Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia.
“The merger of the two national carriers, along with purchase of new aircraft and the liberalisation of bilateral rights are the reasons for the downfall of Air India,” Scindia said in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
