Air India has taken a Rs 60,800 crore ($8 billion) cover by paying a Rs 266 crore premium to a clutch of insurance companies, including Tata AIG General Insurance. The airline’s management dealt with the better value of its fleet lower by almost $2 billion. On the other hand, new management held extensive negotiations in India and London to get a good deal considering the rising premiums due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. According to the new policy, the airline will not be able to fly over Russian and Ukrainian airspace due to the conflict.
