Air India loosing ground

Earnings 36 crore a day, Expenditure 57 crore a day!!

Air India admitted that they are in a situation where they are earning Rs 36 crore a day against an expenditure of Rs 57 crore, a daily loss of Rs 21 crore

Also oil companies has put Air India (AI) on cash and carry. This mean they are paying about Rs 12.5 crore daily to keep their planes on runway. These oil companies easily provide their supply of fuel on credit basis to the private carriers. But after getting into a debt of Rs 2280 Crores they refused to go any extra mile with Air India.

But all these claims by aviation ministry departments to media are just results. No one, for any ministry, or infact not a single politician is ready to look into the matter. Because everyone know what is the main problem. And raising the voice on issue can ultimately harm their luxurious lifestyle.

Indian Government provides certain aids to the official people, i.e. high rank government employees & politicians to travel for free and sometime at negligible cost with their families. Most of the time a fix number of Seats are left vacant considering a last-minute-emergency condition of a VIP.

New Delhi being one of the most important destinations for Air Travelers. So there is surely lots of people going to and fro from New Delhi each day for which planes are never sufficient. Instead of utilizing these facts, an AI flight to Delhi is always full of free-travelling politicians that claim to attend assembly to solve issues for the people of their respective territory.

This is most likely that a regular customer in aviation industry is a businessmen or high grade professional. These people do respect their time, and so the time used by the carrier they are choosing. In most cases, an AI flight has to get delay because of some VVIP is expecting on-board.
