Geneva: Cash-strapped Air India should be run by professionals even if the government partially off-loads its stake to investors to keep it off-the-ground, a top global aviation professional has said.
"The Government has to recognise that if it is to privatise Air India, then it has to leave the management of Air India and not interfere with it," Tony Tyler, the Director General and CEO of International Air Transport Association (IATA), said here.
Talking to PTI at IATA headquarters here, the chief of the global airlines' body flayed political interference in the functioning of an airline, saying the government-owned airlines have generally performed well when run by professionals.
