Air India Express COO sacked

Air India has sacked Air India Express' Chief Operating Officer Capt Pawan Arora after dilly dallying on the issue for more than two months after its board cancelled his appointment.
 
Arora was appointed Air India Express COO in October last year at a hefty pay package of Rs 1.20 crore per annum.

But within weeks the state-owned airline's Board of Directors cancelled his appointment on November 18 on the ground that it was not in line with the norms.

The controversy over Arora's appointment as Air India Express COO erupted following reports that he had not qualified as the Flight Operations Instructor in DGCA.

It was also reported that appointment letter of Arora was issued even before the Board had approved it at its September 27 meeting.

Arora was previously with Jet Airways and Kingfisher among other airlines after he left the Indian Air Force.
