The entire process of migration to Microsoft Azure was managed by Air India’s people in Silicon Valley in the US, Gurugram and Kochi in India.
“Air India’s successful migration to Microsoft Azure shows the power and adaptability of the Microsoft Cloud, and how we can effectively support leaders in the global airline industry like Air India,” said Puneet Chandok, president at Microsoft India & South Asia.
The computational workloads were migrated to the cloud from several mainframes, hundreds of servers, a large amount of data, and hundreds of pieces of equipment.

On Monday, the government reportedly issued a show-cause notice to the Tata Group-owned Air India Express over alleged violations of regulations related to disputes with the airline’s management and cabin crew members.

Air India, which was taken over by the Tata Group in January last year, has embarked on a five-year transformation plan. The airline also said that it would launch several innovations in its customer-facing channels and its employee experiences.
