Air India is all set to appoint Vistara’s Sisira Kanta Dash as their Chief Technical Officer (Head of Engineering), effective June this year, according to media and industry sources. News of this key development in the higher echelons of the Management at Air India is being viewed by industry watchers as a precursor to the impending merger of Air India and Vistara.
The merger of the two airlines is pending regulatory approvals as was mentioned by Air India’s CEO Campbell Wilson, earlier this year.
