NEW DELHI: Air India’s New York office transferred $300,000 to a bank account in Nigeria instead of remitting the sum to a US-based firm Pratt & Whitney for supplying spare parts. The incident is learnt to have taken place in June 2017 but the airline has failed to retrieve the amount from the Nigerian bank account.
“The officers involved in the lapse were never punished. They have in fact been allowed to rise in their career,” said an executive.
In response to an email query, Air India said the matter is currently under investigation.
