Which of the following airlines is the nationalized airline of India?
The correct option is A Air India
A. Air India
One of the first West Asian
airline companies was Air India,
which had its beginning as Tata
Airlines in 1932, a division of Tata Sons Ltd. (now Tata Group). The
airline was founded by India's leading industrialist, JRD Tata. On October 15, 1932.
In 1953, the government nationalized
the airlines via the Air Corporations Act, 1953, which gave birth to Indian
Airlines and Air India. Indian Airlines came into being with the merger of
eight domestic airlines to operate domestic services, while Air India
International was to operate the overseas services. Furthermore, the Act gave
monopoly power to Indian Airlines to operate on domestic scheduled services
ruling out any other operator. Air India became the single Indian carrier to
operate on international itinerary excluding some routes to the neighboring
countries which were given to Indian Airlines.
