Star Alliance is satisfied with Air India's process of integration into it and it sees the carrier as very different from what it was a few years ago, a senior executive said on Thursday.
"I can say with all conviction that the integration is on track and working well. That's something I can say with full confidence," Christian Klick, vicepresident at the alliance's corporate office said in a rare media interaction. "Since the last time we worked with Air India, a lot of things have changed within the company," he told reporters.
"This is an Air India which has done a lot to improve its service levels. It has done a lot in terms of not only the modernisation of the fleet, but also of the whole company. That gave us the confidence to restart the process," he added. The national carrier has pinned its hopes on joining the 28-member group as the only way it can stand up to cut-throat competition from its local and international rivals and imminent onslaught from those that are entering the market.
