Air India has to join Star Alliance by March’09 but now it has been delayed by a year, and it will join Star by 2010. According to an official the earlier merger of Air India and Indian Airlines has not been found useful yet, as there has been a confusion about the work duties between the two airlines. The Star and Air India has to integrate their IT platforms under one common system , but Air India still hasn’t confirmed about which platform they will be using.
A news report by a Delhi based news agency suggests that Ministry of Civil Aviation is found to be upset that talks are on with Jet Airways to join Star, as it would put Air India at a disadvantage. A Jet spokesperson said that the Jet Airways was evaluating various options, over the years Jet has decided not to align itself to a specific alliance rather go with code sharing and independent alliances. Star, at the onset, had not ruled out other Indian partners.
