There has been no major accidents or aircrashes involving Air India aircrafts since 1985 as per the data under referance. Whereas, other airlines mentioned in the same report had aircrashes in recent years. The sane is the case with Indian Airlines. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the safety record of both these airlines is pretty bad. Yes, it is a fact that they have a comparitively old fleet of aircrafts. Already, steps have been taken to address this issue and as an interim measure, a number of aircrafts have been taken on dry lease.
As far as the ATC over India is concerned, except for an headon collision between a IL-76 of Kazakistan and a Saudia Boeing 747, no major mishap has been reported over India in the last one decade.
