New Delhi: Loss-making Air India has taken a big decision to improve its condition marginally. Air India has banned the giving of air tickets on credit to many ministries, departments, and agencies under the Central Government. Departments and agencies on which Air India has sold more than 10 lakhs, will no longer sell Air India tickets to them. Air India has paid 268 crore rupees on government departments. Some prominent investigating agencies of the country are also present in the list of defaulters. Government departments and agencies book tickets for travel on credit or borrowing from Air India and their payment remain hanging for years. Air India is a government airline, so government departments do not show any haste to pay its dues.

This decision of Air India will affect the government officials, employees, and ministers, who have been booking Air India tickets on credit through the department to travel anywhere. Now the payment of 10 lakhs will have to be paid before booking the tickets. However, Air India spokesperson Dhananjay said in a conversation that 'the airline has started recovery. Out of 268 crore dues, 50 crore rupees have been withdrawn from the government departments by the airline through recovery '
A time when there was a change in the financial markets
Here the question arises that why the government department is not serious to pay the dues of the country's government airline Air India which is running in a loss? Air India is running at a loss of thousands of crores. The central government is preparing for the privatization of Air India. Soon the central government may decide on the privatization of Air India.
