Air India expects 20% hike in revenue this fiscal: Aviation Minister

London: Beleaguered Air India's fortunes seem to be shoring up with the airline estimating that its total revenue would go up 20 per cent by the end of the current financial year.
The national carrier's total revenue is expected to go up from Rs. 16,130 crore in 2012-13 to Rs. 19,393 crore in 2013-14, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said at a function here to celebrate completion of Air India's 65 yeas of service on the London route.
Reflecting a turnaround earlier than planned, the airline is determined to achieve the target of growing its operating revenue by over 20 per cent, Mr Singh said.
According to the minister, Air India also estimates that its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) would increase from Rs. 19.45 crore in 2012-13 to Rs. 1,040 crore in the current fiscal.
