The disinvestment of Air India will lead to further growth of the national carrier in a professional manner, including better utilisation of its wide-body planes and upgradation of in-flight services, according to Civil Aviation Secretary Rajiv Bansal. Mr. Bansal, who is also in charge of Air India as its chairman and managing director, also noted that with better utilisation, the number of flying hours for an aircraft will increase. There will also be better utilisation of Air India’s wide-body aircraft in the ultra long-haul sectors,” Mr. Bansal said. Mr. Bansal also pointed out that with better utilisation by Air India, the number of flying hours for an aircraft will increase.
