Rohit Nandan, a joint secretary in the ministry of civil aviation, will be appointed as the new head of Air India, replacing Arvind Jadhav, whose disastrous tenure comes to an end next year. Nandan is a 1982-batch (UP Cadre) IAS officer.
Mr. Nandan, an IAS officer of the U.P. cadre, had joined the Ministry last year. He will be given a free hand in carrying out the revamp of the management of the cash-strapped carrier under the supervision of the Civil Aviation Secretary Nasim Zaidi, top government sources said here.
The panel is likely to be headed by aviation secretary Dr SNA Zaidi and will have two independent directors and a joint MD. Dr Zaidi refused to comment when asked about Nandan`s possible appointment. The official added that Nandan is one of the names being considered and that a formal announcement is expected soon.
