About The Descent Of Air India

This is the story of how a dramatic set of events ran aground an airline that once ruled the skies; a behind-the scenes account of how submissive and indifferent chairmen, self-serving employees and union members, and a step-fatherly government, all led to Air India’s downfall. The Descent of Air India elucidates how the airline failed to adapt and change with the times but preferred, instead, to bask in its past glory. Impractical expansion plans and thoughtless use of the airline’s resources contributed to the company’s financial collapse. Candidly written by Jitender Bhargava, who spent more than two decades in the company, The Descent of Air India is the tragic tale of how one of the country’s finest public-sector undertakings was brought down and the people and events that were responsible for its descent.
