Air India posts operating surplus of Rs 21.66 crore

Air India has posted an operating surplus (cash profit) of Rs 21.66 crore in November 2010, a record in recent times. This has been largely possible due to significant improvement in efficiency parameters, coupled by better yield management strategies and a mushrooming number of passengers showing faith in the national carrier.

Another significant indicator of the national carrier’s operational efficiency is borne out of the fact that 108 of the 194 services (flights) of Air India network during November 2010 has made cash profits.

“The peak season for air travel would continue and our employees’ commitment to meet the challenge is evident” said Mr Arvind Jadhav, CMD, Air India, while reiterating the fact the Rs 1200 crore fresh equity infusion by the Govt. has helped strengthen the employees morale.
