While "enhanced meal service" will be provided on four Air India flights on Thursday, the Tata takeover will take place after Thursday, officials said.
The Tata Group has taken its first step at Air India by introducing "enhanced meal service" in four flights that will operate from Mumbai on Thursday, officials said on Wednesday.
However, Air India flights will not be flying under the banner of the Tata Group from Thursday itself, they stated.
Earlier during the day, the officials had told news agency PTI the Indian government is likely to hand over Air India to the Tata Group on Thursday, nearly 69 years after it was taken from the conglomerate.
However, while the "enhanced meal service" will be provided on four flights -- AI864 (Mumbai-Delhi), AI687 (Mumbai-Delhi), AI945 (Mumbai-Abu Dhabi) and AI639 (Mumbai-Bengaluru) -- on Thursday, the takeover will take place after Thursday, the officials clarified.
