On a personal trip to the United States through a Tata Group-owned Air India flight, Ministry of Civil Aviation Secretary Rajiv Bansal got an Economy Class ticket at a cheaper price and was further upgraded to business class.
Not only were the Bansals’ tickets upgraded to business class but the original rates at which the tickets were purchased were cheaper than what other fellow travellers paid for them.
The Air India board rejig is well thought-out. It’s a smart move to bring veterans from other Tata group companies to Air India s reconstituted board, while retaining some employees on it, valuing their special expertise.
