A day after the Tata Group took over Air India from the Government of India, a special message was relayed to passengers on all of its flights. The aviation company’s operations department had said on Thursday that this message would be read by Air India pilots on every flight departing today.
“Dear Guests, this is your Captain speaking… Welcome aboard this historic flight, which marks a special event. Today, Air India officially becomes a part of the Tata Group again, after seven decades,” Captain Varun Khandelwal said to passengers on Air India flight AI665 travelling from Delhi to Mumbai.
