Wadia group-owned no-frills airline GoAir on Monday announced that its managing director Jeh Wadia has stepped down from the position.
The airline, however, said that Wadia will continue as a promoter.
It also announced the appointment of aviation industry veteran Ben Baldanza as vice chairman at the carrier.
Baldanza has been an advisor to the company since 2018 and director since 2019.
The appointment of Baldanza is a part of GoAir’s long-term plans as it looks into the next phase of growth, the airline said in a release.
Baldanza as vice chairman will now work directly with the management team, comprising Kaushik Khona, chief executive officer, and Pankaj Chaturvedi, chief financial officer, in the next growth phase of GoAir into making it India’s first ultra low-cost carrier, it added.
