'Unstable govt likely after 2019 Lok Sabha polls': Union Minister Jayant Sinha

'For us the goal is to inform, to ensure that people understand all that we have done and all that is at risk consequently,' Sinha said.

Till date, Air India has realised an amount of Rs 410 crore through sale of its non-core assets in various cities in India and abroad.

Air India is estimated to have a debt worth over Rs 55,000 crore.

The revival package is being undertaken after the govt failed to divest the national carrier to private operators.

The incident prompted the Civil Aviation Ministry to seek a report from the national carrier.

All civilian drone ops will be restricted only during day time and flying will be restricted within visual line of sight.

The discussions come against the backdrop of a failed effort to privatise the loss-making airline.

Jayant Sinha told the Lok Sabha that there was a short delay in the payment of salaries for May and that the same was paid subsequently.

As per its audited accounts, the airline's total cumulative losses stood at Rs 47,145.62 crore in financial year 2016-17.
