Air India and BIAL sign agreement to make Bengaluru premier aviation hub of south India. 
 

This includes strengthening the group’s presence at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) through an enhanced network and establishing a dedicated domestic lounge for premium and frequent travellers of Tata Group airlines Air India and Vistara.

Don’t think we have an Air India or TATA thread, so I’ll post it here. 
 

A good article on AW on Air India transportation from a lumbering state-owned asset to a privately owned enterprise.

Thanks @Xerxes. Have you flown Air India recently? Any thoughts on their service and the condition of their aircraft?

Hi Hektor 

I only used IndiGO when I was there. 
didn’t wanted to take the chance with Air India. 
 

IndiGO was great.

Thanks @Xerxes I guess Tata has more to do to turn Air India around.
