Will walk alongside Air India: IndiGo MD Bhatia pays tribute to Tata

Paying tribute to late Ratan Tata, InterGlobe Enterprises Group Managing Director Rahul Bhatia on Thursday said IndiGo will walk alongside Air India to secure the country's rightful seat at the centre stage of global aviation. "As we all know, Mr. Tata had a deep passion for flying machines, and I was only too pleased to see Air India return to where it truly belonged," Bhatia said in a statement. Tata, who was the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, passed away on Wednesday night. "While I am much too small a man to say this, in tribute to Mr Tata's love for flight and his vision for the future of Indian Aviation, IndiGo will, ever so modestly, walk alongside Air India to secure India's rightful seat at the centre stage of global aviation," Bhatia said. InterGlobe Enterprises is the parent of the country's largest airline IndiGo. Bhatia also recalled that he had the occasion to engage with Tata and that was when he returned from college in 1985.

E P Jayarajan travels by IndiGo 2 yrs after self-imposed boycott of airline

Over two years after he decided to never travel by IndiGo, former LDF convener E P Jayarajan on Thursday night travelled to Delhi on the airline from Karipur airport here. Jayarajan had in July 2022 decided not to travel by that airline after it imposed a three-week flying ban on him for his involvement in a scuffle onboard an IndiGo aircraft that was also carrying Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Confirming that he travelled on the low-cost airline, the CPI(M) leader said that he opted for Indigo in order to quickly reach Delhi to pay his respects to late party general secretary Sitaram Yechury who died on Thursday. Jayarajan said that Yechury was bigger than everything else and reaching Delhi quickly was more important than what he had stated about the airline two years ago. On June 13, 2022, two Youth Congress workers shouted slogans against the chief minister inside the IndiGo aircraft from Kannur, after it landed at Thiruvananthapuram airport.
