Why Tata Group chose Ilker Ayci to helm Air India's operations | 10 points

The Tata group on Monday announced former Turkish Airlines chairman Ilker Ayci as the new MD and CEO of Air India. The appointment is surprising because Ayci does not come with an aviation legacy as the other names that were rumoured to be contenders for the post. Starting his career in 1994, he was assigned several positions in Kurtsan Ilaclar A.S., Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Universal Dis Ticaret A.S., respectively, and then he served as a general manager in Basak Sigorta A.S. (General Insurance Company) between 2005 and 2006, and then in Gunes Sigorta AS (an insurance services company) between 2006 and 2011. Watch the video to know more.
