Exuding confidence in Tata Group's success, Scindia said, "Not only I, but the civil aviation fraternity and people of India at large all stand to gain from the culmination of the very very long process that has been in the process for years."
Air India embarked on a new voyage Friday after the Tata Group took over the airline from the government. India Today took a flight from Mumbai to find out if anything has changed since the Maharaja's takeover.
Tata Group founder JRD Tata had originally launched the airline in 1932 as the nation's first carrier, flying mail between Karachi in then-undivided, British-ruled India and Bombay. It was nationalised in 1953.
