Maharaja's mourning: Air India's tragic setback amidst revival

An Air India Boeing 787 crashed in Ahmedabad, taking hundreds of lives and sending shockwaves through the community. The accident happened just after takeoff, right as Air India was working on a major revamp under Tata Group's leadership. Authorities—including Boeing—are now investigating to find out what went wrong.

TL;DR

Tata Group's dream of revamping Air India gets shattered

The crash site being close to a medical college made things even more heartbreaking for locals. It's also put Air India's safety and management practices under the microscope, especially since the airline has been trying to modernize and compete globally. For Tata Group, which took over in 2022 aiming for a fresh start, this tragedy is a tough reminder that rebuilding trust takes more than new planes—it takes real change.
