Overview
- IndiGo named Captain Rohit Rikhye head of the Operations Control Centre with immediate effect, reporting to COO Isidre Porqueras.
- The move marks the first senior management reshuffle since the airline’s widespread December operational disruptions.
- Rikhye replaces Jason Herter, who is moving out, after the regulator asked the airline to act against the OCC head and avoid any significant future role for him.
- In January, the DGCA imposed penalties totaling about Rs 22 crore and sought the dismissal of a senior vice-president over the disruptions.
- Despite being a listed company, IndiGo has not filed an exchange notification on the OCC leadership change.
