                            Almost every major air crash in India has involved either Air India or Indian Airlines —
whether under government control or now with the Tata Group.
Air India / Indian Airlines —
a name that's becoming a curse to passenger safety and public trust. 💔🛑
As per international law (Montreal Convention),
each victim is entitled to compensation of up to ₹1.8 crore — or more if negligence is proven. ⚖️
Will they pay?
Will the prestigious Tata Group step up this time?
