‘Not honourable’: Setback to Air India; Ilker Ayci turn down Tata's offer

Turkey's Ilker Ayci has said that he will not take on the role of chief executive of Tata Group's Air India, days after the announcement of his appointment led to opposition in India over his previous political links. Tata on February 14 announced Ayci's appointment as CEO of previously state-run Air India after taking over the debt-laden airline in January in a $2.4 billion equity and debt deal. Ilker's decision comes in shadow of opposition by RSS affiliates called on the Centre to block Ayci's appointment citing his previous political links in Turkey, which has strained relations with India.
