Air India CMD Rohit Nandan was on Monday granted extension till August next year, ending a phase of uncertainty in the national carrier which is going through a difficult process of financial restructuring.
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet approved the extension of Nandan as the airline’s Chairman and Managing Director “till August 21, 2015 or till the appointment of a regular incumbent, whichever is earlier,” an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.
This was the second time 57-year-old Nandan, a 1982 batch IAS officer of Uttar Pradesh cadre, was granted an extension in two months.
