- Air India was formed by J.R.D. Tata using his fleet for commercial purposes and granting it to the government, forming what is now known as Air India. - Air India currently has 62 aircraft with 14 more on order and operates 300 flights per day but has lost market share to other carriers. Its passenger load factor in September 2009 was 67.9% compared to competitors like Jet Airways and IndiGo. - Air India's revival plan aims to make the airline profitable within 24-36 months by lowering costs on 54 domestic flights by December, separating business units, and restructuring debt.
