Aditya Ghosh departs the IndiGo hot seat
The president of India’s largest carrier by market share has announced he is stepping down.
Aditya Ghosh has been at the helm of IndiGo as president for a decade but will leave in July.
In a statement to the stock market parent InterGlobe Aviation said airline founder Rahul Bhatia will assume the chief executive role in an interim basis and ex United Airlines executive Gregory Taylor joins as a senior advisor.
Ghosh has been with IndiGo since day one and became president in 2008, two years after it launched flights.
In the 10 years since, IndiGo has India’s largest carrier and the only one that consistently turns a profit.
Last year it carried about 50 million passengers.
IndiGo’s fleet size has grown proportionally to meet this demand and now numbers more than 160 jets, with hundreds more on order.
