Capa expects Air India’s domestic and international flight operations, including Air India Express, to be sold as a single entity and units such as aircraft maintenance, catering, ground handling and hospitality to be hived off.

IndiGo has already shown interest in Air India privatization, while the Tata group, which runs Vistara, has said it too would like to see the terms. IndiGo, SpiceJet, GoAir and Jet Airways are likely to make profits while Air India, AirAsia India and Vistara are likely to make losses.
