The low-cost arm of the newly merged Air India is being shifted from Mumbai to Delhi, while the headquarters of the overall airline and cargo operations would function from the western metropolis.
The overall responsibility of the low-cost carrier, Air India Express, would be that of Joint Managing Director Vishwapati Trivedi, with P P Singh being appointed its Chief Operating Officer. Both of them would be based in Delhi, official sources said.
As per the latest office order issued by CMD V Thulasidas, the Mumbai headquarters of Air India would handle the international and domestic operations as well as cargo.
The Special Business Unit for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul is being split into two, with the facilities concerning airframes based in Mumbai and those relating to engines and components based in Delhi.
These decisions came days after the government constituted the board of National Aviation Company of India Limited, the company born out of the merger of Indian and Air India.
Besides Thulasidas and Trivedi, other members of the Board are V K Verma, Director (Commercial), Anup Srivastava, Director (Personnel), S Chandrashekhar, Director (Finance), S Punhani (Ground Handling), Amod Sharma (Related Business), K M Unni, MRO (Airframe), V K Sharma, MRO (Engineering) and Anita Khurana (Cargo).
