Indian airline appoints a female CEO for the first time

For the first time ever, a woman has become the CEO of an Indian carrier, with the government appointing Harpreet A De Singh as the CEO of Air India’s (AI) regional subsidiary Alliance Air.

Harpreet Singh was the first woman pilot to be selected by Air India in 1988. Though she could not fly due to health reasons, she has been very active in the area of flight safety. The Indian Women Pilot Association is headed by Singh.

There were several reports that Alliance Air is being sold off with Air India. Later, according to reports, it is confirmed that Alliance Air will remain a PSU for now as it is not being sold off with the Air India-AI Express-AISATS combine.

AI’s old Boeing 747s will be transferred to Alliance Air, which currently has a fleet of turboprops, if the Maharaja gets a buyer and is privatised.
