Life-long upgrade to 1st class on Air India for ex-ministers

New Delhi: The government has decided to give former ministers, secretaries and their family members life-long upgrades to first class tickets on state-run carrier Air India, Parliament was informed today.
In a written replay to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Praful Patel said such facilities will, however, not cost any burden on Air India or other agencies and "will be extended only if vacant seats are available".
"Upgradation of facility is only subject to availability of seats, hence Air India on this account would not incur any loss," Patel said. The government has also decided to give other facilities like airport entry pass and VIP car parking label for former ministers, secretaries and their family members, the minister added.
