As the cash-strapped national carrier Air India grapples for funds, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said the government would roll out a financial bailout package for the airline company.
In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Patel said Air india's bailout will happen soon but the government can’t give as much as Air India is seeking.
The slowdown has hit India's national carrier hard. Air India facing a severe financial crunch has told its 31,000 employees that salaries for the month of June will be delayed by 15 days. The airline has already asked for a bailout package of Rs 15,000 crores.
