'Air India has no plans to change logo'
Anand S. T. Das
Chandigarh, March 19, 2006: Government-run international airlines Air India has no plans to change its logo like its domestic partner Indian did recently.
Both Air India authorities and the Civil Aviation Ministry feel the present logo, which was modified only slightly last year, works perfectly well .
"We do not think there is any real need for us to now change the logo of Air India, which is doing fine and continues to be recognised wonderfully the world over," Air India Chairman-cum-Managing Director V. Thulasidas told Newsline.
Thulasidas, who was in Chandigarh on Saturday evening to announce AI's plans to double the frequency of its flights to Toronto from Amritsar, said the airline's trademark red Centaur logo, readjusted to point upwards to "show the progressive growth the airline has made and continues to make," reflects Air India’s "heightened personality" after its flight acquisition plans were put to work.
The CMD said Air India would fly six days a week from Amritsar to Toronto via Birmingham from May 1 except on Tuesdays. Presently, the airline operates flights on this route only on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Air India's low-tariff subsidiary Air India Express is likely to start flying from Amritsar and the Middle East, specially Dubai, from May end, he said. "The fares for Air India Express in this sector are yet to be worked out. This flight would surely be a huge success," said Thulasidas, who, along with a couple of top officials of the airline, hosted a dinner get-together at Hotel Taj.
Thulasidas said Air India's Amritsar-Toronto flights are already booked for the next two months and the six-day flights from May 1 would be able to ease the rising rush.
Air India Express defers Doha flight launch

Doha: Budget carrier Air India Express has temporarily shelved plans to launch the proposed 12 direct flights to Doha from April following a shortage of aircraft, Debashis Golder, Manager, Air India, said here yesterday. The airline was earlier planning to fly to Doha from April, during its summer schedule, in time for the peak vacation season but instead operate the route in November.
Golder disclosed that the decision to defer the all-economy class no-frills carrier's flights to Doha comes in wake of the Indian government giving away rights to UAE based airlines to operate more services to India. To match the additional capacity offered on the India-UAE sector by those airlines, including Emirates, Air India Express had decided to step up the frequency of its operations between Indian cities and the various emirates. As a result, more Boeing 737 aircraft were now being deployed on the India-UAE route and none would be available to operate the Doha services, he explained.
The postponement of AI Express' plans to fly direct to Doha is expected to put a damper on the large expatriate Indian community, especially those from the southern state of Kerala, who had lobbied at various levels in India for such a budget carrier.
AI Express had promised to offer seats at 15 to 25 per cent lower fares than those charged by conventional full-service carriers on the India-Doha route, though with lower free baggage allowance and fewer in-flight comforts.
Air-India, meanwhile, will operate seven weekly fights between Doha and various Indian destinations, Golder said. Of these, four weekly flights will be operated to Kochi, two per week to Thiruvananthapuram and two to Kozhikkode. An extra flight between Doha and Mumbai will be operated by the airline every Tuesday to offer three services between Doha Mumbai every week. Kochi sector, he said, will be served by the two Kozhikkode and two Thiruvananthapuram flights every week to offer four services.
