The government on Monday directed flag carrier Air India to use the best of information technology (IT) practices to bring efficiency in its functioning.
According to Ministry of Civil Aviation, the airline was directed to use the best of IT practices by Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju, who held a meeting with the top brass of Air India to review its functioning.
"The minister reviewed the status of monetisation by Air India so far and the hurdles if any," the ministry said in a statement.
"He keenly sought information on operationalisation of MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) for advanced aircraft at Nagpur and Hyderabad."
Further, the statement disclosed that the minister reviewed Air India's strategy to increase its market share in the domestic and international segments.
"The civil aviation minister exhorted the officials of Air India to use the best IT practices to bring efficiency in the airline," the statement added.
