Over the last 2 decades a common theme in Indian aviation industry is some upstart airline makes a huge splash at a aviation show about ordering hundreds of airbus or boeing planes. Then, within next 3-5 years that said airline files for bankruptcy, has severe financial losses or is mired in mismanagement. SpiceJet, Kingfisher are two top ones that come to mind immediately. What makes anyone believe Air India will not have the same fate? I sincerely hope Tata turns this around, but for now this seems like just another splash of big news that will fizzle out very quickly in next 2-3 years.
