7 saal baad: Air India finally joins Star Alliance
In a significant decision, Air India was inducted into the Star Alliance, an exclusive club of 26 major global airlines, which would enable seamless travel for the airline's passengers to over 1,300 destinations and may increase its revenues by five percent. Passengers will enjoy benefits from 11 July, when the airline finally joins the grouping formally, an alliance spokesperson said.

The decision put an end to a seven-year-long wait for the national carrier, with the integration process starting in December 2007 but being suspended in July 2011 to allow Air India to complete its merger with Indian Airlines before fully integrating it into the alliance network. PTI photo
