Air India Crisis: On June 12, Air India’s Boeing plane crashed in Ahmedabad killing 242 passengers. These included 12 crew members as well.
Air India Crisis: After the recent Tata India plane crash near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, the airline company is going through the most challenging phase at this time. Dealing with the situation created after the plane crash has become the biggest challenge for Air India at this time.
In such a situation, Tata Group Chairman N. Chandrasekhar himself has taken the responsibility of the daily operations of Air India. N Chandrasekhar is currently working on security review, sensitive government relations, flight maintenance as well as the welfare of employees.
History is a witness that whenever a crisis situation has arisen, the Tata chairman has handled it himself. For example, in 1989, when Tata Steel caught fire, J.R.D. Tata himself took charge and led the entire situation.
Tata Chairman takes charge
Whether it was the attack on Taj Hotel in Mumbai on 26 November or the scam in Tata Finance, Ratan Tata always came forward as the Tata Chairman. While working in TCS, N. Chandrasekaran is also known for taking the right decision to overcome the crisis.
According to reports, Air India CEO Campbell is now working with N. Chandrasekaran on regulatory matters and strategic plans. Given his experience with Tata, Chandrasekaran can handle the kind of immediate action that is needed at the present time.
Air India needs special focus
Group officials believe that Air India needs special attention at this time. They say that N. Chandrasekaran has previously worked from the airline headquarters. In such a situation, the kind of focus and immediate action that is needed on the aviation company, only the group chairman can do this work. Officials believe that there is a great need at this time to rebuild Air India’s reputation and win the trust of the people.
It is worth noting that on June 12, Air India’s Boeing plane crashed in Ahmedabad. In this incident, 241 out of 242 passengers died. These included 12 crew members as well. Air India had announced to give Rs 1 crore each to the families of all the deceased.
