The Fall of Air India

Air India one of the earliest airline and a national airline of India, is now in a very bad shape and the people responsible for the downfall is corrupt governments of India, every other national carriers got permission to land india in peak hours and operate flights but air india gets odd times to operate so they can incur losses and also get odd landing and parking terminals in other countries.

Living in Bangalore, earlier days there used to be direct flight operating from Bangalore to Bangkok was terminated and space was created to bring monopoly from Thai Airways. It operated flights to Singapore again in odd times so it did not do well but Singapore Airlines is operating two flights with Silk Air alliance in the same sector and is flying full flight most of the time.

There used to weekly thrice flight to Dubai which was withdrawn again to give room for Emirates to come in and operate three flights in a day and withdraw the national airline from the scene. Same happened with domestic sectors they kept operating odd hours flight, sensual sectors Bangalore to Male not sure why they operate this flight as this is not a business destination nor much of traffic.

We hope the civil aviation ministry rectifies and take measure to improve the conditions of our national airline.
