Air India to fall short of personnel at the senior management level

Mumbai: National Carrier – Air India may fall short of personnel at the senior management level that could lead to a leadership crisis. Out of the current eighteen executive directors fourteen will retire in the three years. The general managers of the company who are one level below the executive directors will also not be available in huge numbers to fill up the vacant positions. Over thirty general managers out of nearly fifty general managers will also retire in the next three years.
An Air India official who did not want to be named said ‘This is a big problem which could trigger a leadership crisis in the future but at the moment no one is bothered about it’. Ironically, Air India’s surplus manpower is considered as one of the major reasons for the current financial crisis. Air India has an annual wage bill of Rs 3000 crore with nearly 30,000 employees.
