The UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch has welcomed a momentous deal for Airbus and Rolls-Royce to provide new aircraft for Air India, which is worth billions of pounds to the UK.
The Tata Group is taking over India's flag carrier Air India, following an agreement to pay US$ 2,4 billion. The airline has been losing money at the rate of a billion dollars since 2009, and under the deal Tata will only pay a quarter of the company's total debt.
More than a hundred business leaders, parliamentarians, government representatives, and other influential figures gathered in the British Houses of Parliament for a unique event aimed at highlighting the major success stories of UK-India economic cooperation.
