His comprehensive understanding of the aviation ecosystem will be invaluable as we build a more agile, resilient and future-ready organisation, and accelerate our next phase of growth. For now, Aloke will report to me. Once the next CEO assumes office, he will transition to reporting to the new Chief Executive.”Commenting on his appointment, Singh said, “I am delighted to join IndiGo at such a pivotal moment for the airline and for Indian aviation broadly. Having redefined India’s domestic and short haul international aviation landscape, IndiGo is taking its ambitions global. I look forward to working with colleagues across the organisation to sharpen our strategic direction, double down on operational excellence and deepen and broaden our markets.”Singh’s appointment comes after the airline’s chief executive officer Pieter Elbers suddenly stepped down on March 10, a move that followed criticism in December 2025 for failing to implement mandatory flight duty time limitations (FDTL) norms, which led to the cancellation of at least 5,500 flights in the first half of the month.
