Former Indigo President Aditya Ghosh will team up with Rakesh Jhunjhunwala for a new airline venture, sources informed CNBC-TV18.
Former Jet Airways CEO will also be a part of the new airline venture by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, sources said.
Jhunjhunwala’s move into aviation comes at a time when international and domestic carriers have been beset with financial uncertainty because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jhunjhunwala will invest $35 million in the new project and he will hold a 40 percent stake in the airline. The Big Bull has approached the Aviation Ministry to obtain a no-objection certificate (NoC).
CNBC-TV18 has confirmed the story independently.
