IndiGo ropes in former Airbus executive for AI push

New Delhi: IndiGo has hired Jochen Hoesch, a former head of artificial intelligence at Airbus, to lead AI, data and analytics operations at India's largest airline.

Hoesch's appointment comes at a time when the domestic aviation industry is sharpening its focus on AI to enhance efficiency amid pressure on operating costs especially high jet fuel prices.

Underlining the importance of the senior executive hiring, IndiGo, which has about 60% share of India's domestic market, said the airline is strengthening its data, analytics, and AI infrastructure.

The airline's management in its commentary had repeatedly mentioned using its cash reserves to build digital infrastructure for becoming future ready.

"As we move forward in our growth journey, we continue to invest in building a robust data hub and deploy AI-driven technologies, to enhance efficiency across all areas of operations and deliver a more seamless experience to our customers," said an IndiGo spokesperson.
