Investments in AI Express need to be nurtured, says new COO

Mumbai: Even as the Air India Express Board will meet later this week to formulate the budget for the national air-carrier's low-cost arm, its newly-appointed COO described his task of growing the airline as a "challenging" one.
"I am taking over as COO of the airline only tomorrow. It is a challenging task that I have been assigned but I am looking forward to it," Air India Express' COO-designate Pawan Arora told PTI here today.
"Investments made in Air India Express need to be nurtured," he said, adding that he was confident that the airline would grow on the right lines. AI Express mainly operates across the Gulf and south-east Asia sectors.
"So far I have known the airline only as an outsider. It will not be wise for me to make any further comments at this stage," Arora, who joins the state-run carrier from IndiGo where he was the fleet commander, said.
