Aviation service provider Bird Group has shown interest to bid for Air India’s ground handling unit Air India Air Transport Services Limited (AIATSL).

A Bird Group spokesperson confirmed the development and said it has written to the ministry of civil aviation expressing interest to buy AIATSL. "We have told the government that if it decides to sell the subsidiary separately to unlock maximum value, we will bid for the ground handling unit," said a company official.

Earlier, Civil Aviation Secretary Rajiv Nayan Choubey told reporters that the group has sent an expression of interest (EoI) for the same.
