Thanks for the article Steve. The article doesen’t state anything new, although some inaccuracies are there. Air India, financially or publicaly were not in there prime in the 1990s.

Also my sources now tell me that Kingfisher Airlines is gaining very quickly to Indian, jet and Deccan as one of the top airlines in India. They are even planning to set up a company in USA, so that they can start flights on the lucrative US-India route, bypassing the Indian 5-year no international operations law.
