IndiGo Managing Director Rahul Bhatia has said incoming chief executive Willie Walsh is driven by a desire to make a difference at the airline and will play a key role in its next phase of international expansion, citing the aviation veteran's operational expertise and experience across both low-cost and full-service airlines.
Walsh, who steps down as Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on July 31, will take charge as IndiGo's CEO on August 3, the day the airline completes 20 years of operations.
