Indian Airlines, founded in 1932 and headquartered in New Delhi, was India's primary domestic and regional carrier operating under the national flag for nearly seven decades. The airline offered scheduled passenger service across India and to neighboring countries, with major hubs in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, serving as a key link in Indian aviation's development during the post-independence era. Operating as a full-service carrier, Indian Airlines provided economy and business class cabins on its regional and short-haul international routes, establishing itself as a major player in South Asian aviation. The airline merged with Air India in 2007 to form a unified national carrier, ending its independent operations and marking the end of an iconic chapter in Indian aviation history.
