NEW YORK(TIP) Air India Regional Manager Vandana Sharma has been transferred to Delhi. She will assume charge as Deputy General Manager at the Indira Gandhi International Airport.

Ms Sharma’s tenure of nearly 3 years (she took over as RM Americas in 2015) has been an eventful one. She has since helped Air India to grow from 21 flights per week out of three gateways in the United States to approximately 36 flights per week out of five gateways.

Having achieved a high leadership role at Air India—which she noted has the highest percentage of women pilots in the world—Sharma said she believed that it is important that companies hire an equal number of men and women.

A workaholic, Ms Sharma says: “Each day is a test of skills and capabilities and gives me an opportunity to learn”.
