Ravi takes aviation baton, to focus on AI turnaround

New Delhi: The minister of overseas Indian affairs, Mr Vayalar Ravi — who was given additional charge of the civil aviation ministry on Wednesday — said his main priority areas were to make sure that national carrier Air India overcomes its financial crisis, apart from making sure that all airlines operate flights on time.
“I will focus on two areas as a priority. I will focus on customer service to passengers and airlines should operate flights on time. I also want Air India to overcome its financial crisis. I will meet the employees of Air India and appeal to the workers of the national carrier to help me find a solution to the problems faced by the airline,” said Mr Ravi, outlining his plan of action.
Expressing happiness at being given the additional charge of the civil aviation ministry, Mr Ravi said, “I’m grateful to the Prime Minister and the Congress president for placing so much of confidence in me.”
Mr Ravi also expressed confidence that he would have enough time for the additional responsibility of the civil aviation ministry despite already heading the overseas Indian affairs ministry.
