Air India is in financial difficulties, as every body knows. In this blog, I have posted earlier how the Government, Minister and bureaucrats were using the air-line for their own agenda without any legal or financial binding. More skeletons are coming from the cup-board after Praful Patel has been shifted from the Civil Aviation Minister’s post.

The latest is the scam of arranging a bigger air-craft to accommodate his family members in the executive class. The Air-India management was compelled to disclose on an RTI that on April 25th 2010 from Bangalore to Male and on April 28th from Male to Bangalore A 319 Aircrafts were  changed for  the bigger A 320 Aircrafts to have more executive class seats to accommodate the family of the Minister. This resulted in vacant seats both in executive and economy class, causing big loss to the Air-India.

The Minister was using the Air-India as his family property without considering the profit or loss to the company. This is not an isolated instance. There may be many other cases like this. The concerned persons should be taken to tasks.
