Tata-SIA joint venture airline Vistara on Friday named Sanjiv Kapoor as its Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer, a day after the 48 year-old aviation professional parted ways with budget carrier SpiceJet.
Kapoor will take up his new assignment in February next year, Vistara said.
He will be succeeding Giam Ming Toh, the Chief Commercial Officer of Vistara, who is returning to Singapore after completing his deputation with the airline, Vistara said in statement.
"We are happy to welcome Sanjiv to Vistara as he will be joining us at a time when the airline embarks on a new phase of growth - with the new aviation policy around the corner and the successful completion of the first year of operation," Vistara's Chief Executive Officer Phee Teik yeoh said.
Toh with his impeccable strategy and execution has successfully created and established the Vistara brand promise through consistent delivery of product and service excellence, the CEO said, adding, Toh will work alongside Sanjiv for a smooth transition.
Sanjiv Kapoor resigned from the post of SpiceJet's Chief Operating Officer on Thursday, nearly ten months after original promoter Ajay Singh took over the reins of the budget airline.
