low-cost carrier AirAsia India on Wednesday announced the exit of Amar Abrol its MD & CEO, making him the second top-rung official to deboard the carrier in a little over two years.
Abrol will step down next month and return to the parent company in Malaysia, the airline said in a statement.
The first CEO and MD of the Tatas-controlled airline Mittu Chandilya also had left the airline abruptly in February 2016 after serving the airline for less than two years after joining in June 2014--right before its launch.
"Abrol will be moving back to the AirAsia Group headquarters in Malaysia to work on group strategic projects effective June 2018," AirAsia India said.
The exit of Abrol comes days after its larger rival IndiGo had said that its president and whole-time director Aditya Ghosh would step down from the position in July.
