Air India ( ) is a state-owned flag carrier, the oldest and the largest airline of India. It is part of the Indian government-owned Air India Limited (AIL). The airline operates a fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft serving Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. Its corporate office is located at the Air India Building at Nariman Point in South Mumbai. It is the 16th largest airline in Asia . Air India has two major domestic hubs at Indira Gandhi International Airport and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. An international hub at Dubai International Airport is currently being planned.

Star Alliance announced on 13 December 2007 that it had invited Air India to join as a member. After several delays, the final joining date was set at 31 July 2011. Air India failed to meet the minimum standards for membership for that deadline and as a result Air India's invitation to join the Star Alliance has been suspended.

World Top 10 Military Power 1ª USA 2ª China 3ª Russia 4ª India 5ª UK 6ª France 7ª Germany 8ª Brazil 9ª Japan 10ª Turkey The user should note that nuclear capability is not taken into account. This listing is purely a "numbers game" meant to spark debate and including such game-changers as nuclear weapons would clearly defeat the purpose of such an experiment. In any case, most any nation going to war would more than likely refrain from using such destructive warfare being that since the atomic bombs dropped in 1945, no nation has utilized this form of warfare for at least 60+ years despite there being a good amount of conflicts since then and more nuclear powers at play in the world. If there is a World War 3, it will most likely still be of the conventional sort. The comparisons here are for consideration in a "straight-up" war based solely on a nation's capabilities from land, sea and through the air with other statistics covering the logistical and financial aspects of waging such a campaign. Statistic sources and years are stated whenever possible. Some statistics may be estimated if concrete numbers are not available.

Around a hundred and sixty people are feared dead after a plane crash in southern India. It happened when an Air India flight arriving from Dubai crash-landed near Mangalore airport and caught fire. So far about eighty bodies have been recovered. Many of the dead were still strapped into their seats. A spokesman for the airline says eight people have survived and have been taken to hospital. Officials say conditions at the airport were poor.
