New Delhi: Air India has dismissed media reports that claim the airline is on verge of bankruptcy as ‘baseless rumours’ and called it an attempt to create confusion and tarnish its credibility.
The issue began when Israeli media outlets reported that Air India will collapse soon as it has debts running over a billion. It further advised Israeli passengers against booking tickets on the airline and those who have booked to take necessary steps to recover their money.
"Air India (AI) strongly refutes the canards being spread by a section of the media in Israel and a few web/online portals about the airline being on the verge of collapse. This is totally baseless, false and hatched to malign the image of the organisation and thwart its rising graph by vested interest," according to a statement issued by AI's Tel Aviv office.
"We would like to clear the air that, contrary to this speculation, Air India is growing from strength to strength and has, in fact, been standing by passengers in distress left stranded by airlines abruptly shutting down," it said.
“It is requested that any such attempt to create confusion and tarnish the credibility of Air India be rejected outright," the statement said.
Meanwhile, Air India country manager Pankaj Tiwari told media that the entire episode was a result of ‘fake news’ and contrary to shutting down its planning to increase the number of flights on the Tel Aviv-Delhi route.
