Air India this week launched its Vihaan.AI “transformation plan” to re-invigorate the privatized, loss-making national carrier acquired by the Tata group for $2.7 billion. The project announced from its New Dehli headquarters on September 19 spells out the main elements of a five-year plan to reshape its flight network and refresh its fleet, as well as revamp customer service and improve reliability and on-time performance.
