Alliance Air Launches Probe into Corruption Allegations

Alliance Air announced a high-level investigation into corruption allegations and malpractices. This follows a whistleblower's claims as reported in the media. Alliance Air, previously a subsidiary of Air India, is now part of AI Assets Holding Ltd following Air India's privatisation in January 2022.

Government-owned Alliance Air has initiated a high-level investigation in response to allegations of corruption and malpractices, according to a statement released on the social media platform X.

The airline's move comes in the wake of media reports, which highlighted claims made by a whistleblower. Alliance Air, which operated under Air India until the latter's privatisation in January 2022, now functions as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AI Assets Holding Ltd, a special-purpose vehicle formed by the central government.

The airline, which maintains a fleet of 20 ATR planes, is taking these allegations seriously and is committed to ascertaining the facts through its ongoing inquiry.
