The Air India Group includes the full-service global airline Air India and value carrier Air India Express.  The Air India story began in 1932 when JRD Tata piloted the airline’s inaugural flight and opened the skies for aviation in India. Today, the Group employs over 30,000 team members, operates more than 300 aircraft, carrying customers to 55 domestic and 45 international destinations across five continents.  Air India returned to Tata Sons in 2022 following 70 years of government ownership, and is now undergoing a five-year transformation program.  Air India placed the then largest-ever order for 470 new aircraft in 2023, and in 2024, sister airlines Air Asia India and Vistara were successfully merged into Air India Express and Air India respectively.
