AI does away with senior pilots in top management jobs

Nandan,in an attempt to revamp the current management structure,has also changed Deepak Bararas portfolio and given him the charge as Executive Director (Headquarters). Anup Srivastava,who had proceeded on a long leave following non-compliance of a cabinet order to re-instate him in the airline,has now been given the charge as Executive Director (Customer Services).

Apart from the management rejig,the airlines board too is being strengthened by filling the vacant spots. Recently Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) cleared S Venkat promotion as Director (finance),which after governments nod,would elevate him to the companys board.

The airline is also in the middle of recruiting process for bringing in director-level executives to handle personnel and commercial departments apart from filling vacancies on its Board arising out of resignations of two independent directors early this year.
