Air India: A Timeless Journey with the Maharajah Air India, the national carrier of India, has been a prominent symbol of Indian aviation since its inception in 1932. Founded by the legendary industrialist J.R.D. Tata as Tata Air Services, it began with a single flight between Karachi and Bombay. Over the years, the airline evolved into a global ambassador of Indian hospitality and service, proudly flying the Indian flag across continents. In 1946, the airline was renamed Air India, and by 1948, it had launched its first international flight from Mumbai to London. Air India was among the first Asian airlines to enter the global aviation market, setting high standards for international service. It was nationalized in 1953 and remained a government-owned entity until 2022, when it was reacquired by the Tata Group—bringing the brand full circle to its original roots. A New Era Under Tata Under the Tata Group’s leadership, Air India is undergoing a massive transformation. The airline has unveiled an ambitious modernization plan, which includes a record-setting aircraft order, revamped in-flight services, improved on-time performance, and a complete brand refresh.
