New Delhi: he resignations by Indians at key management positions in IndiGoNSE -1.97 % continue with the head of pilot training being the latest one to have quit the low-cost airline, which is bringing aboard expats to run the company as it prepares itself for international expansion.
“Captain Sanjiv Bhalla, chief pilot training, standards and quality assurance has also resigned from IndiGo,” said a source, who did not want to be identified.
Sources in the know also added that the airline may see a few more resignations from Indian executives over the next couple of months.
IndiGo did not respond to a query sent by ET till the time of going to press. This resignation has come close on the heels of IndiGo president Aditya Ghosh resigning from the airline last week to start a new business venture.
Ghosh is being replaced by Greg Taylor, who has joined as an advisor and will be made president and CEO after regulatory approvals are in place. In his earlier stint with the airline in 2016-17, Taylor was as an executive vice-president of revenue management and network planning.
Two weeks prior to Ghosh's resignation, Ajay Jasra, corporate communication head of the airline, had also resigned.
There has been speculation that the induction of several expatriate managers in the past couple of years was a sore point for these Indian executives.
Expats have, over a period of two years, joined the airline across various functions that include Willy Boulter, chief strategy officer, Michael Swiatek, chief planning officer, Jason Herter, vice-president, operations control centre and dispatch, and Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, chief operating officer.
