Aviation industry major Bird Group has envisaged buying a stake in Air India via its divestment process.

Civil Aviation Secretary R N Choubey disclosed this to media persons on the sidelines of an industry event held here on Wednesday.

Singapore Airlines is set to make an additional investment of Rs 3,194.5 crore in Tata Group-owned Air India post-merger of Vistara in November.

Over 20 aircraft of various airlines received bomb threats on Friday afternoon, the Civil Aviation sources said.

The scheme has operationalized 601 routes and 71 airports, contributing significantly to the growth of regional airlines, job creation, and tourism.
