Dear guests…: A special message for Air India flyers today with Tatas back on pilot’s seat

Flyers on Air India flights will receive special information in flight announcements as Tata Group resumes the airline’s operations on Friday.

Under the official order, the airline’s pilots will make specific announcements after the doors are closed for each flight departing during the day.

“Dear guests, this is your Captain (name) speaking…welcome aboard this historic flight that marks a special event,” this is what all Air India passengers will hear Yes, an airline determined by the operating department.

On Thursday, the Indian government officially handed over Air India to Tata Group, which it had taken from the group for about 69 years.

“Today, Air India is officially part of the Tata Group again after seven years. We look forward to serving you with renewed commitment and enthusiasm on this and every Air India flight,” the announcement will state in accordance with the order.

“Welcome to the future of Air India! We hope you enjoy your journey. Thank you,” the announcement will further state.

After a bidding process, the government on October 8 last year sold Air India to Talace Private Limited, a subsidiary of Tata Group Holdings, for Rs 18,000 crore.

Tata Group said in a statement on Thursday that it has taken over management and control of the airline starting today. “The Tata Group takes over management and control of the airline from today,” the statement said.

Oppn seeks probe into Adani charges in US: ‘Obvious protection of PM Modi’

Oppn seeks probe into Adani charges in US: ‘Obvious protection of PM Modi’

Following US SEC charges of bribery against Gautam Adani, opposition parties criticise PM Narendra Modi and call for a JPC investigation.

As billionaire Gautam Adani faces charges in the US for alleged bribery and fraud, the Opposition on Thursday intensified its attack on the Centre over its alleged links with the Adani Group.

Gautam Adani has been charged in the US with allegedly paying $250 million in bribes to Indian officials between 2020 and 2024 to secure favourable terms for solar energy contracts. The scheme, prosecutors said, could have earned Adani’s group over $25 billion in profits.

Congress demands JPC probe

Reacting to the charges, the Congress called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into alleged scams involving Adani’s conglomerate. The party also demanded the appointment of a “new and credible” Sebi chief to investigate Adani’s financial dealings and compliance with securities laws.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) actions highlight the failure of Indian institutions to investigate the group. “The indictment vindicates Congress’s demand since January 2023 for a JPC into the Modani scams,” Ramesh wrote on X.

He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of shielding Adani and claimed Congress’s “Hum Adani Ke Hain Kaun” (HAHK) series had exposed the businessman’s alleged fraud and his ties with the PM.

The fact that it has taken a foreign jurisdiction to properly investigate Adani only shows how Indian institutions have been captured by the BJP, and how decades of institutional development have been undone by greedy and power hungry leaders, the Congress leader said in another post.

“All of this is consistent with a long record of fraud and criminality carried out with impunity with the obvious protection of the Prime Minister,” Ramesh charged.

Other Oppn leaders join attack

Other opposition leaders joined the attack. Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale questioned the BJP’s involvement in Adani’s dealings and demanded an independent judicial probe.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh accused PM Modi of allowing Adani to tarnish India’s global reputation.
