Air-India Baggage Labels Gallery
Air-India issued these decals during the early part of its existence. we can date these starting sometime in the mid-1950s going into the early 1960s. This is possible be observing the airline name as Air-India International on most decals which was dropped in 1962 in favor of Air-India, and the only destinations with the name as Air-India were those serviced from 1960 and earlier.
