The Tata Group has taken its first step at Air India by introducing “enhanced meal service” in four flights that will operate from Mumbai on January 27, officials said.

Enhance Cabin crew
Tata’s are planning to groom better cabin crews for inflight services. The crew members will have to be smartly dressed and well-groomed and grooming executives will be conducting checks at the airports. There are reports that new freshers will be hired and maybe new candidates will be trained to a well-groomed cabin crew
It is expected that air India will show the path to the future of the Indian aviation industry. Still, there are turbulences that the Tata’s might face. For one thing, the Tata’s have taken over the airline at the worst possible time. According to media reports, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and high fuel costs, India’s airlines are predicted to be headed for their biggest-ever loss of over 20,000 crore rupees in this financial year.
The existing crisis will be over one day and as the Tata’s have always proved to be the best in India, it is hoped that they will revive the aviation industry and will create a lot of job opportunities for freshers and aviation enthusiasts.
