Air India’s Troubled Skies: Tewari Demands Govt. Repossession
Congress MP Manish Tewari has demanded the government reclaim Air India from the Tata Group. He levelled serious allegations of mismanagement, citing numerous flight disruptions as evidence.
Tewari’s statement, made on Friday, August 1, 2025, directly criticizes the airline’s performance since privatization. He argues that Tata’s lack of aviation expertise has led to the current crisis.
The MP highlighted the increasing number of flight cancellations and delays plaguing Air India. He believes this negatively impacts passengers and undermines the national carrier’s reputation.
This renewed call for government intervention comes amidst growing public concern over Air India’s operational efficiency. The situation raises questions about the success of the privatization process and its impact on India’s aviation sector.
The controversy underscores the ongoing debate surrounding the privatization of public sector undertakings and the need for robust oversight to safeguard national interests and ensure efficient service delivery. The impact on air travel and the economy warrants close scrutiny.
