History [ edit ]
Air India was founded in 1932 as Tata Air Lines by the company Tata Sons. In 1946 the company name was changed to Air India International which besides Tata Sons also BOAC and Qantas have helped the society after the war back on its feet. In 1948, the Indian government took a 49% stake in society. In 1953 there was a nationalization of the company and was named Air India. From 1999, several attempts have been made to bring about a merger between Air India and Indian Airlines and this merger is finally gone into effect.
