Air India disinvestment: Around 150 queries on carrier's sale

Government has decided to sell 76 per cent of its stake in Air India, along with 100 per cent stake in subsidiary Air India Express, and 50 per cent stake in AISATS

Around 150 queries have been received in the Air India privatisation process, made queries and sought clarifications on the terms of the flagship carrier’s sale. These include both foreign and Indian airlines, as well as a number of domestic and external non-aviation entities, Business Standard has learnt.

“The stakeholder consultation has got a good response. Almost 150 queries have been received,” a senior government official said. He said that the queries are mostly about the treatment of debt, employee future and management of the airline. Transaction advisor EY is responding to the queries and will seek clarification from the government
