Air India has appointed a new head, but for how long?Arvind Jadhav, a career civil servant, began work as the Indian flag carrier's chairman and managing director today. He was appointed by the civil aviation ministry after his predecessor, Raghu Menon, quit following differences with the minister Praful Patel.
Given that the Indian general elections are ongoing and due to end only in mid-May, the country could well have a new government in the next few weeks. And then, depending on who takes over the civil aviation ministry and the direction that he or she may want, sources say that Air India could well have a new head.
The uncertainty is likely to continue for Air India in the coming weeks.
