History
Air India was founded in 1932 under the name Tata Air Lines by the company Tata Sons. In 1946 the name of the company changed to Air India International. Its name changed again in 1953, this time to the current name Air India. By that time Air India was owned by the government of India. From 1999 a lot of attempts were made to merge Air India and Indian Airlines. Air India kept its name regardless of the merger. Due to corruption and lack of funds, Air India merged with Tata Group, or Tata Sons on January 27th, 2022.
