Vänner,

Det här hade jag helt missat, men från och med den 27:e januari, 2022 så är Air India ett privatägd flygbolag. Den indiska staten har proppat upp Air India under många år.

I min egna erfarenhet har jag sett Tata köpa upp bolag, satsa hårt en kort period för att sedan totalt ge upp. Hoppas det blir annorlunda för Air India.

En 100-dagars plan är ett välkänt begrepp. Betyder inte att man löser allt på 100 dagar. Men man sätter agendan, gör förändringar och tar nödvändiga beslut.

Därefter kan det ta lång tid att genomföra allt. Men målsättningen och inriktningen är satt.

Handlar säkert om mer än enbart en investering i mängden för Indiens Rockefellers.


Air India: 'Excited to work together.' Ratan Tata welcomes Air India passengers as airline takes off from Tata fold, after 70 yrs - The Economic Times
Air India, which returned to the Tata Group after decades, welcomed its passengers on Wednesday morning with a special message by none other than the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons himself, Ratan Tata.
The 84-year-old businessman's soothing voice covered the cockpit as he welcomed the passengers.




As Tatas get back Air India, recalling how the government had snatched away their beloved child 70 years ago | Explained News,The Indian Express
The government handing over Air India to the Tata Group is a historic occasion — and much more than history coming full circle. Because for the Tatas, Air India was not merely a business — it was their dearest, most beloved child that was snatched away by the government.

JRD Tata was humiliatingly sacked by prime minister Morarji Desai, the nation was outraged, because Air India was, at that time, a matter of deep national pride. (The main issue apparently was that the puritanical Morarji had issued a diktat that no alcohol was to be served on board Air India, and JRD had objected strongly, saying that was no way to run an international airline.)



Air India was once the company that inspired Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific — Quartz India
Anthony Sampson, in his best-selling book, Empires of the Sky—The Politics, Contests and Cartels of World Airlines, devotes a chapter to how Asian carriers like Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Thai Airways began to dominate the skies in the 1970s by redefining the concept of service. But the very first Asian airline to do so, Samson notes, was Air India, which provided the inspiration for all the others, right from the 1940s.

One of the main reasons behind Air India’s superlative service was JRD Tata himself, who (in the nicest possible way) used to micro-manage everything. He was notorious, for example, for wandering about on flights, making notes of tiny details that needed to be fixed, from the level to which the wine was poured into a wineglass to the hairstyles of the air hostesses.

If he saw a dirty airline counter he would shame everyone by requesting a duster and wiping it himself and, on at least one occasion, he rolled up his sleeves and helped the crew clean a dirty aircraft toilet.
It was his eye for microscopic detail that inspired (and terrified) the Air India staff into performing way beyond the ordinary call of duty. And that, ultimately, was what made the airline what it was.
