History
Air India is India's national flag carrier. Although air transport was born
in India on February 18, 1911 when Henri Piquet, flying a Humber bi-plane,
carried mail from Allahabad to Naini Junction, some six miles away, the
scheduled services in India, in the real sense, began on October 15, 1932.
By the beginning of 1947,
Air India turned its attention to the international
scene. Towards the end of the year, an agreement was reached with the Government
of India for the formation of
Air India International Limited to operate
international services.
The early '50s saw the financial condition of various airlines operating in
India deteriorate to such an extent that the Government decided to step in and
nationalise the air transport industry and accordingly two autonomous
Corporations were created on August 1, 1953.
Indian Airlines was formed with the merger of eight domestic airlines to operate
domestic services, while
Air India International was established to operate the
overseas services.
The word 'International' was dropped in 1962. Effective March 1, 1994, the
airline has been functioning as
Air India Limited.
From a total of three stations served at the time of nationalisation,
Air India's worldwide network today covers 44 destinations by operating services
with its own aircraft and through code-shared flights.
