Air India began in 1932 as Tata Airlines, founded by JRD Tata, and later became India's national carrier after nationalisation in 1953. In January 2022 it returned to the Tata Group after nearly seven decades of government ownership.
In November 2024, Vistara merged into Air India, combining both airlines' networks and fleets into a single, larger full-service carrier flying across India and to major international destinations.
