BENGALURU -- Tata Sons, the holding company of top Indian conglomerate Tata Group, on Thursday gained control of national carrier Air India, ending the government's two-decade hunt for a buyer for an airline that has been kept afloat with taxpayer money.
"We are excited to have Air India back in the Tata Group and are committed to making this a world-class airline," Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran said in a statement. "I warmly welcome all employees of Air India to our group and look forward to working together."
