New Delhi: The Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) has zeroed in on CII’s Amitabh Khosla to head its operations. Mr Khosla, who is likely to be designated as executive director, was earlier heading CII’s infrastructure wing, and will report to FIA chairman V Thulsidas.
A source in FIA said that Mr Khosla has been invited to join the association and will be suitably designated once the association gets formal society status. Last month, head honchos of member carriers met in Mumbai to approve the association’s new logo and agreed to sign a memorandum of association to enable it to register as a society.
Though the association was looking at appointing a head hunter to scout for a director general to head the organisation, sources indicated there were some differences of opinion among the members. Ever since scheduled carriers decided to form an industry forum, fears of airlines ganging up to jack up air fares have been going the rounds.
