…But Air India didn’t like it

Air India, clearly, wasn’t wooed.

The airline released a statement yesterday, saying it is “contemplating suitable action against the issuer of the newspaper advertisement.” It also said that no one has been asked to build any such app, let alone a prototype and that it wasn’t involved in any such process.

“Heartbroken” by Air India’s reaction and making one last attempt, Builder.ai asked the airline “to meet” to build a partnership it was keen on.

 

Meanwhile, many Twitter users, while agreeing with Air India’s reaction, appreciated the persistent wooer’s boldness.

Others weren’t so impressed.

The Tatas regained control of Air India in January this year, 90 years after it was nationalised. The aviation company was founded by Jamsetji Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata in 1932.
