Tata Sons Chairman Says Air India’s Turnaround Will Take Five to Ten Years
Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran outlined that Air India's transformation is a five- to ten-year process involving fleet renewal, legacy system upgrades, and talent development. Despite significant progress, the airline faced challenges in FY26, including airspace closures, fuel price hikes, foreign exchange fluctuations, and the AI171 crash. These factors disrupted operations and delayed expansion. The timeline extends beyond the initial five-year plan, reflecting the complexity of rebuilding Air India into a global carrier since Tata Group's takeover in 2022.
