Just 3 months after foreign AirAsia’s India JV takes off, safety head quits

AirAsia India's head of safety Sumant Mishra has resigned, three months after the domestic arm of the Malaysian budget airline AriAsia got off the ground, sources said. ‘Sumant Mishra has resigned from the top job and he is now serving the mandatory six-month notice before leaving the carrier,’ the source said. Mishra, who had earlier been with the now grounded Kingfisher Airlines as chief of flight operations, joined AirAsia India last year, when it was in the process of launching operations. Mishra and AirAsia India spokesperson were unavailable for comments.
