Air India: The Story of Lost Glory

It was never predicted that Air India would go through a bad to worse phase. Maharaja of civil aviation, “Air India" has lost its glory. From time to time pilots and other staff are going on strike that results into delay and cancelation of flights. It is directly affecting the financial condition of the aircraft.



In India, Air India was the first airline to provide its services to western countries. It was much before airlines like Australia's Quantas, Japan Airlines, Singapore Airlines and many others served the west traffic. In 1940s, when Air India first launched its international flight, the view was unforgettable. The loyal staff were working hard to make Air India the best airlines in the world and to fulfill the dream of its founder, J R D Tata.

Air India's in-flight service was excellent and was well known as 'maharaja' service all over the world. From a flight attendant to air hostess and pilot, they felt proud to be associated with Air India and thought it to be lucky to have a job with Air India. To be linked with Air India at that time was considered prestigious.

Now it has some other story to tell. At present the aircraft is in inferior condition and it is equipped with broken-down seats. It has been stated that often passenger have discovered cockroaches crawling on the floors of aircraft. Other than the exterior of the planes look equally dingy this, doesn’t match up to the iconic status of ‘maharaja’ as Air India has been referred.
