Air India's new boss, Rohit Nandan has pledged to convert the poor conditioned airline into a completely renovated airline for meeting the requirements of modern-day travelers.
Air India, once recognized as the "maharajah of the skies", has been in the red after merging with domestic carrier Indian Airlines since 2007.
Due to competition from private domestic carriers, Air India's share of passengers has cut while its increasing debts have left it struggling to pay staff.
"We would pay attention on enhancing customer satisfaction as Air India was a sign of the nation and had to acclimatize to the new needs of the fast-growing nation, said Nandan.
Air India is waiting for government consent of a five-year turnaround plan that includes new business plan and more cash.

Airlines are now deploying tablet computers, right now the Apple company's ipad, to facilitate flight procedures. This move has come following US Federal Aviation Administration allowing airlines to use tablets as electronic flight bags.
One of the first airlines to make use of this permission has been the Delta airlines, providing ipads to pilots for inside the airlines access to equipment manuals, flight charts, Wi-Fi and other communication portals. Not airlines to be left behind are the American Airlines and Alaska Airlines who too have begun replacing their hard-copy manuals, which are as heavy as 40 pounds, with ipads of 1.6 pounds.
These ipads are then preloaded by the airlines with information necessary for the pilots that can make it possible to do away with all kinds of on-board paper and thus afford greater convenience to the crew of the airlines involved.
