|
| Air India’s impecunious Maharaja is now going to offer low-cost hospitality. The airline’s chief executive, Arvind Jadhav, has articulated one of the most sweeping turnaround plans that India’s national carrier has ever formulated. But if the Maharaja’s wan smile lacks cheer, it’s because the eight-step path charted by the National Aviation Co of India Ltd (Nacil) is virtually impossible to implement. Though he is barely three months into his job, Mr Jadhav knows this as much as anybody else. That explains his statement that the “painful exercise is going to hurt a lot of people”. The question is whether any of Air India’s 31,500 employees is willing to share that pain. Mr Jadhav is silent on that aspect—which is why what he has spelt out looks like more wish than plan. |
