In 1953, a new dream took shape - to airline the vast South Asian subcontinent by a single, modern, and efficient airline. The Airline was Indian Airlines. Today, Indian Airlines, together with its fully owned subsidiary Alliance Air, is one of the largest regional airline systems in Asia with a fleet of 56 aircraft’s, 11 wide bodied Airbus A300s, 30 Fly-by-wire Airbus A320s, 11 Boeing 737s and 3 Dornier D-228 aircraft’s.
Indian Airline's has been setting the standards for civil aviation in India since its inception in 1953. It has many firsts to its credit, including introduction of the wide-bodied A300 aircraft on the domestic network, the fly-by-wire A320, Domestic Shuttle Service and Walk-in Flights. Its unique orange and white logo emblazoned on the tails of all its aircraft is perhaps the most widely recognized Indian brand symbol that has over the years become synonymous with service, efficiency and reliability.
Indian Airlines is presently fully owned by the Government of India and has total staff strength of around 22000 employees.
Indian Airlines flight operations center around its four main hubs- the main metro cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta and Chennai.
As far as the air hostess are concerned they are pretty beautiful, ya they do take care of you as your dadima and see to it that you don’t have any kind of trouble and they make you feel at home as if you are with your loving dadima, that doesn’t mean that they are old and not good looking. They maintain the Indian culture and wear sarees which are pretty descent and good looking too.
People in India try to compare them with hostesses of foreign flights wear in they wear skirts and expect the same from the Indian too, which I think is not possible.
We Indian should be proud of our culture and we should try to maintain it.
