Budget carrier IndiGo has said Pieter Elbers, who was named as the chief executive officer of the company to replace Ronojoy Dutta, has joined the position from Tuesday.
The airline had announced the appointment of Elbers as its new CEO following Dutta’s “decision” to retire on September 30. “…Petrus Johannes Theodorus Elbers (Pieter Elbers) has joined as chief executive officer of the company with effect from September 6,” IndiGo said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
The 71-year-old Dutta came to the helm of the airline in January 2019, and guided IndiGo through the turbulent Covid-19 period.
