Indian Airlines
In 1953, a new dream took shape - to airlink the vast South Asian subcontinent by a single, modern, and efficient airline. The Airline was Indian Airlines. Today, Indian Airlines, together with its fully owned subsidiary Alliance Air, is one of the largest regional airline systems in Asia with a fleet of 62 aircrafts, 4 wide bodied Airbus A300s, 41 Fly-by-wire Airbus A320s, 11 Boeing 737s, 2 Dornier D-228 aircrafts and 4 ATR-42.
Indian Airline's has been setting the standards for civil aviation in India since its inception in 1953. It has many firsts to its credit, including introduction of the wide-bodied A300 aircraft on the domestic network, the fly-by-wire A320, Domestic Shuttle Service and Walk-in Flights. Its unique orange and white logo emblazoned on the tails of all its aircraft is perhaps the most widely recognised Indian brand symbol that has over the years become synonmous with service, efficiency and reliability.
