NEW DELHI: Aloke Singh, an airline official formerly with Air India Limited and Oman Air, has taken over as the chief executive officer of state-run no-frills airline Air India Express, the compasaid in a statement on Monday.
Singh’s appointment comes at a time when the government is looking to divest its stake in national carrier Air India Limited, and its subsidiary Air India Express amid an investigation by Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) into a crash of its airliner at Kozhikode in August.
“He brings three decades of diverse experience in air transport and travel, with leadership roles in Air India, Alliance Air and a Gulf-based national carrier,” the statement said.
