Ratan Tata\u2019s tweet \u201cWelcome home, Air India,\u201d<\/em> says it all. Not only did the Tatas rejoice, but so did the country. It was a landmark victory for the salt to automotive conglomerate. If you are like us; then, you had several questions in your mind as soon as you heard the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topmost would be –How will the Tatas revamp Air India? Do they have a plan of action in the works? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, they most certainly do have a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final chapter in our Maharaja\u2019s Flight Back Home series takes a deep dive into the plans and the changes that may follow to revamp Air India\u2019s fleet, operations, and reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the Tata\u2019s get from the Government <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tata\u2019s get access to aviation assets, which take years and tons of money to build. The Group will get 118 from the 141 planes in Air India\u2019s fleet. This lineup will include 58 Airbus A320 family planes, 14 Boeing 777, 22 B787 Dreamliner of AI, and 24 B737 of AI Express in flight-worthy condition. A good mix of narrow and wide-body airplanes and a trained workforce will make the Tata group tough contenders in the aviation space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Reuters report, the Tatas will now have entrees to slots at hectic foreign airports, profitable destinations such as the Gulf due to bilateral flying rights between foreign nations. The Tatas can now make the most of India\u2019s Star Alliance Global<\/a> Network membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal includes 100% of Air India\u2019s money-making low-cost arm Air India Express, 50 percent of AISATS that offers cargo and ground handling services at major Indian airports. Tata Sons will control Air India’s 4,400 domestic, 1,800 international landing and parking slots at domestic airports, and 900 slots at overseas airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding Air India\u2019s 100% stake to the majority stakes in budget<\/a> airline Air Asia India and full-service carrier Vistara gives Tata Sons an unmatched advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know what\u2019s in Tata\u2019s basket. Here is a look at the SWOT Analysis for Air India. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
