message: Can we please check the grammar of the article? Many parts of it are extremely weak, especially the part discussing renovations to the airline post-merge with Indian Airlines.

message: I think we should merger the two pages together becuase the real merger between Air India and Indian Airlines completing on July 15 2007. We will have to merger the pages anyways since there will be nomore of Indian Airlines after July 17 2007. Please do consider this since it will happen sooner then later.Sunny Gill265 22:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally can not agree with that. Both airlines have long and independent histories and they should be treated as such until such time as the merger occurs, at which time the 'future' is dealt with in one article. --Russavia 06:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Self-nomination. I have tried my best to bring to surface this wonderful airline which is often overlooked by many. The article existed before my revision. I have tried my best in organising the article to appropriate standards. The factual figures represented in the article have backing which can be easily verified either on the internet or on the printed literature. Drbalaji md
* Support: I think this article deserves to be featured. I appreciate the prompt modifications of the content by the author Drbalaji_md, based on the suggestions made. I do not find any other airline's page that is as readable and well presented as this one. I must also appreciate the author for high-lighting the role of women pilots, so scarcely represented in the world media. The airline's unique cuisine deserves recognition too.--ganesh 02:30, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: This may seem farfetched and not true, but reports coming from a few websites like airliners.net and others say that on Serbian News Channel BETA, the media stated that Air India wanted to merge with Jat Airways. I myself am not sure if I believe this, and so far it is only rumors and no major media site or company has confirmed this in my knowledge. Anyone with info or opinions about this rumor are welcome to reply. Zastavafan76 23:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Some Pakistani guy completely vandalized Air India's main template on the top right hand corner. I will rechange it back to what it originally was, but this is very disappointing. The person who did this has not even registered for a Username, but his IP is 69.175.205.67, looking at his other contributions, I have deduced that he was Pakistani. he has absolutely no right to show his pakistani nationalism here by degrading this high quality page...

message: The article lists the name of the first 707 received by Air India as Nanda Devi (VT-DJJ) under the History section. Further down in the article, in the Accidents and Incidents section VT-DJJ is named Gauri Shankar.
Looking at pictures of VT-DJJ we see that it is in fact named Gauri Shankar.
If we assume that the Air India's first 707 was Nanda Devi, then the VT-DJJ designation in the History section is wrong  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaukat Shakir (talk • contribs) 23:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The 11 April 1955 Kashmir Princess flight that was bombed in midair probably qualifies as a "terrorist attack," like the later Air India Flight 182 bombing.

thread_title:  Before you EDIT 

message: Air India recently made Delhi as its Primary Hub. This is very much true because Delhi has more Air India Flights than Mumbai. The reason for doing this was that Mumbai is over saturated and over-crowded compared to Delhi. Each and every new aircraft lands at Delhi during its delivery flight.
Paris and Tokyo now originate from Delhi and not from Mumbai. No new destinations are being launched from Mumbai compared to Delhi which has seen Washington,D.C. and Toronto flights. This is enough proof that Delhi is Air India's new Primary hub.

thread_title:  Delhi as Primary Hub 

message: Per flightstats.com, I was able to deduce the ill-fated flight from Dubai to Mangalore was IX 812, scheduled to arrive at 6:30am local time.  The website also shows the equipment to be 738, ie. a Boeing 737-800, which this Wiki page does not report Air India as having.  Perhaps the AI Express equipment was on lease?  Air India's own website is usually very buggy and is not at all helpful in determining the flight number or equipment.  137.54.68.72 (talk) 05:16, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
