[edit] Unchanged things

The website is still in name of Indian Airlines. The corporate logo shows Indian Airlines Ltd in small print. I wonder, if IPO was actually made. I bumped into this news article http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/04/12/stories/2006041203560300.htm dated April 11, 2006. Npindia 14:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Name

Seems like they have dropped "Airlines" from their name.

This article needs to be rewritten now with new photos, I guess.

[edit] New logo

The article mentions that the new logo is insipired by Sun Temple, Konark, but I feel it closely resembles wheels of the Ashoka Chakra. Any reference for the Sun temple link? --Victor 18:49, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hindi spelling

I don't have access to a Hindi character set to fix it but the first line has a spelling error in Hindi. The correct version can be seen in the logo image at the top right of the page. The wrong spelling reads "In-d-yi-n" whereas it should be "In-di-a-n". (Actually, the logo says "In-di-y-n" which is wrong - there is no Y sound in Indian" - but what can you expect?)

[edit] First female pilot

According to this source [1] the predecessor company Deccan Airways hired the first female pilot worldwide. Can anyone validate this? At least, that Mrs. Prem Mathur worked with the company as pilot? 84.173.221.189 10:35, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
