The honor was bestowed upon the airline in the Economic Times Brand Equity Survey 2010, said Air India which added that AI has also been ranked 28th among the top 50 Service Brands, ahead of leading banks, insurance companies, food chains and airlines.
The Most Trusted Brands Survey was conducted by the Economic Times in collaboration with The Nielsen Company, a leading market research agency that identifies brands that bond with consumers who believe it provides quality and reassurance.
Recently, Air India was also presented with the Reader's Digest Trusted Brand Gold Award for the fifth consecutive year.
Today AI, with a fleet of 135 aircraft and network spanning 52 destinations across the US, Europe, Canada, Far-East and South-East Asia and the Gulf, also covers 63 destinations in the domestic sector, including far-flung areas of the North-East, Ladakh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Moreover, Air India will launch daily Mumbai
-Abu Dhabi flights from Nov 1. The airline currently operates five weekly flights to Abu Dhabi. This frequency has been increased to daily flights, the Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) said.
The move is to meet the growing demand in flight services in the sector.
The Mumbai-Abu Dhabi route recorded a 17 percent increase in passenger traffic in the first half of 2010, compared with the corresponding period last year.
The additional services will raise Air India's total number of flights to Abu Dhabi to 14, connecting the UAE capital with both Mumbai and Delhi.
Air India will operate the high-tech A321 aircraft which will depart from Abu Dhabi at 2.40 a.m., and will arrive in Mumbai at 6.55 a.m. It will offer both business and economy class services, ADAC said.
