About :
The 8TH of June 1948 saw India
o
entering the sector of International Air
Transport. thereon day, Air India
International's (as it had been then known)
Constellation 'Malabar Princess' took
off from Bombay to London via Cairo
and Geneva.
The 25 years that have since passed,
o
constitute an excellent period within the
history of Indian air transportation
unfolding a most enjoyable story of
how an airline which initially served
three overseas stations has grown to
include within its fleet four Boeing 747-
237Bs, four Boeing 707-437
intercontinental jets, three Boeing 707-
337Bs and two Boeing 707-337Cs, and
span 35 cities in five continents.
With the expansion in Air-India's
o
International Operations grew its
International Operations grew its
popularity also. The
'Maharaja' captured the imagination of
the tourist population and their
expectations were realised within the high
quality of service which they
received in Air-India planes.
o Air-India employs over 10 thousand
men and ladies hand picked for
competence for the post which they
are expected to man. The Air
Hostesses are noted for his or her looks,
charm, poise, and intelligence; if Air-
India has earned an
enviable reputation for efficiency,
safety, punctuality and courtesy, it is as
a results of the dedicated service of the
fine band of personnel constituting Air-
India staff. The success of Air-India
since its inception has also been due
to the very fact that it's put into service
the best and therefore the latest
aircraft available. The 'Flying Maharaja'
has, as his palaces within the sky four
magnificent 'Jumbos' the primary of
which, the Emperor Ashoka, joined Air-
India fleet in 1970-71.
The tourist's first impression of India is
o
formed on board the aircraft and,
aware of this, Air-India has been
assiduously trying to project a
glowing image of the country with its
varied cultural heritage - within the
process, enhancing its own prestige.
