Lohani has once again reiterated that Air India is still the largest airline in the country. Lohani himself has dismissed such reports by tweeting.

The response from the airline comes two days after Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri met with several representatives of Air India unions about the privatization of Air India.
