Rebuilding Air India Ltd. may be a decade-long effort as the struggling flag carrier needs to overhaul everything from its fleet to the quality of service, according to the head of Indias largest conglomerate that owns the airline.
Given where it began, Air Indias transformation must be seen as a five- to 10-year journey, considering the years-long supply-chain disruptions in key components, the need to overhaul legacy systems, culture and fleet, and the creation of a large cadre of technical and airline professionals, Natarajan Chandrasekaran , chairman at Tata Sons Pvt. , said in the annual report of the groups parent Monday. Every great airline in history was built over decades, not quarters.
印度航空有限公司（Air India Ltd.）的所有者、印度最大企业集团的负责人表示，重振这家陷入困境的国有航空公司可能需要长达十年的努力，因其需对从机队到服务质量等各个方面进行全面改革。
塔塔集团董事长纳塔拉詹·钱德拉塞卡兰（Natarajan Chandrasekaran）在周一发布的母公司年度报告中表示："考虑到印度航空的起点，其转型必须被视为一个五到十年的漫长过程。这包括应对关键零部件领域持续数年的供应链中断、改造遗留系统与企业文化及机队的必要性，以及培养大批航空技术专业人才。历史上所有伟大的航空公司都是历经数十年而非几个季度建成的。"
