We will position Air India as a great global airline, says Jayant Sinha

The civil aviation ministry wants to strengthen Air India before restarting the process of privatising the airline. Minister of state for civil aviation Jayant Sinha says that the govt will soon announce a comprehensive package for the carrier and a supportive policy for the entire aviation industry by working on the tax structure. "Our goal right now is to position Air India as strongly as possible for the future. Of course, we remain committed to disinvestment, which even the prime minister has said, aviation minister has said. In the meanwhile, our goal is to strengthen Air India as much as possible, to provide the financial resources and liquidity that it needs to operate properly. And to become a great global airline, which is to have a global network," said Sinha. <br/>
