Air India, owned by the Tata Group, on Thursday announced that Alliance Air 'is no longer a subsidiary.' From 15, 2022, the carrier will not handle the booking and queries related to Alliance Air.

The airline shared the contact numbers (+91-44-4255 4255 and +91-44-3511 3511), website details (www.allianceair.in), and email ID (support@allianceair.in) for further assistance. 

As per the website, Alliance Air function with a fleet size of 20 (18 ATR 72-600 and two HAL Do-228).

Through its subsidiary Talace, Tatas controls Air India. Air India Express is managed by the group, which also owns a 50 per cent stake in the ground handling subsidiary Air India SATS.
