Birth of Indian Airlines and Air India: The day when all airlines in India were nationalized

Air Corporations Act, 1953, nationalised the Air transport and provided for the establishment of Air Corporations to facilitate the acquisition of existing Air companies and to make better provisions for the operations of air transport services in the country.
