Air India appoints Sandeep Gupta as Chief Pilot for Airbus A350 fleet
As it prepares to revamp operations and strengthen its fleet, Air India on Monday appointed its senior executive Sandeep Gupta as the Chief Pilot for its wide-body Airbus A350 fleet.
Currently, Captain Gupta is the Chief Pilot for the A320 fleet as well as incharge of the airline’s Hyderabad-based training centre CTE.
According to a communication, Gupta has been appointed as Chief Pilot for the A350 fleet.
The move also comes amid Tatas-owned Air India discussing a large aircraft deal with the European aircraft maker Airbus for induction of wide-body A350 planes.
The carrier’s first A350 aircraft is likely to be delivered early next year.
