AI-IA logo, livery may be unveiled

New Delhi: The suspense over the mega carrier being formed by merging Air India and Indian Airlines could lift partially on Tuesday as aviation minister Praful Patel is likely to unveil the new livery and logo. While the new merged company, National Aviation Corp, will retain the brand name Air India, the livery would be such that it reminds travellers of both AI and IA.
As a result, said sources, the orange colour and Konark wheel used by IA have been merged on AI's livery. The Centaur on tail wing could make way for the Konark wheel. A new logo has also been designed while the Maharaja will remain the mascot. The new Boeing and Airbus aircraft that IA and AI will get now would be painted in the new livery.
The name of the first chairman is also likely to be announced and sources said Air India CMD V Thulasidas could be chosen for the job.
