Air India is the flag carrier of India and is fully owned by the Indian government. Currently based in New Delhi and flying out of its hub in Indira Gandhi International Airport, the airline serves over 90 destinations worldwide. Air India currently owns and leases 125 aircraft, varying between various Airbus and Boeing models. One of the Tata Sons established the airline in 1932, as Air India started out as mail service and was named Tata Airlines. Their fleet consisted of two aircraft and the company managed to make an $830 profit in the first year of operations. After World War Two ended and India gained independence, Tata Airlines became public and was renamed into Air India. The airline was also the first carrier in Asia to establish a jet service, with its purchase of Boeing 707s and also the first all-jet airline in the world. In 2007, Air India and Indian Airlines were merged to form one company, which retained the Air India name. After enduring financial struggles throughout the decade, Air India managed to post profits and consequently, join Star Alliance. As the company is regaining its ground in the region, it is expanding and is offering career opportunities! Air India offers career options for Pilots, Cabin Crew and Engineers.
