Air India is the national flag carrier of India, operating under the domain airindia.com. Founded decades ago as a government-owned airline, Air India was re-privatized in January 2022 when the Tata Group completed its acquisition, marking a major turning point in the airline's history. The airline connects India to destinations across Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, and Africa.
Air India offers both domestic routes within India and an extensive international network. The airline operates flights from major Indian hubs including Delhi (Indira Gandhi International Airport), Mumbai (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport), and other key cities. Passengers can book tickets directly through the official website at airindia.com or via third-party travel platforms.
Under Tata Group ownership, Air India has announced significant fleet expansion plans, including orders for new Airbus and Boeing aircraft. The airline is in the process of upgrading cabin interiors, improving in-flight services, and integrating operations following the merger with Vistara in 2024. This consolidation makes Air India one of the largest full-service carriers in the Indian subcontinent.
- Destinations: Reportedly over 100 destinations across 50+ countries

Travelers booking with Air India should review fare conditions carefully, as cancellation and refund policies vary by fare class. The airline's customer service can be reached through the official website. Given the ongoing transition under new ownership, passengers are encouraged to check the latest updates on services, routes, and policies directly at airindia.com before booking.
