Management exodus takes toll on AI

New Delhi: State-owned Air India’s management is losing its key functionaries one by one even as the airline needs a strong team to execute its crucial turnaround plan. The latest in the list is the company’s special business unit head for cargo and functional director on the airline board Anita Khurana.
The airline’s chairman and managing director Arvind Jadhav has cleared Khurana’s application seeking voluntary retirement from the company. Airline sources said that around 16 senior officials including executive directors Manjira Khurana, P Senthil Kumar, DJ Chibber and HS Grover have opted for voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) in the last two years. With exodus on the rise, the civil aviation ministry has asked the airline to strengthen its board by inducting new functional directors ahead of operationalisation of two SBUs — maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and ground-handling.
