Founded by the legendary JRD Tata, Air India is a pioneer of Indian aviation. Since its first flight in 1932, Air India has built an extensive global network spanning 29 countries across five continents, connecting India to major destinations in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific, Australia and the Middle East.

After coming home in 2022 from the Indian government to the Tata group, Air India embarked on Vihaan.AI, a five-year transformation journey, with a vision to become a global airline with an Indian heart. The first two phases of this transformation, ‘Taxi’ and ‘Take-off’, focused on fixing the basics and building the foundation for growth. The airline has now entered the ‘Climb’ phase, which will focus on achieving excellence in operations and customer experience.

Air India is a member of Star Alliance, the largest global alliance of leading international airlines. Air India offers seamless connectivity to passengers as a full-service global carrier, while its wholly owned subsidiary Air India Express operates as a low-cost carrier flying within India and nearby countries.
