New Delhi: Aviation service provider Bird Group has shown interest to bid for Air India’s ground handling unit Air India Air Transport Services Limited (AIATSL).
A Bird Group spokesperson confirmed the development and said it has written to the ministry of civil aviation expressing interest to buy AIATSL.
