What FACTLY found
The TATA Group took over Air India from the government in January 2022, and is presently managing the complete operations of Air India. Following the takeover, the Tata Group reduced the senior citizen concession from 50% to 25% in September 2022. Even during the UPA government, before 2014, the then-state-run Air India airlines provided 50% concession to senior citizens over 63 years in domestic flights
