AirAsia’s CFO Ankur Khanna quits

Ankur Khanna, AirAsia India's Chief Financial Officer has resigned almost after 10 months of joining the airlines. Earlier, he was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection to alleged financial wrongdoing at the airline under its earlier head.

"He is serving a three month notice period currently," a person close to the development, told ET.

The rumours of Khanna stepping down have been around since December. Khanna's name hasn't featured in any allegations of financial bungling or management issues at AirAsia India. A senior official at the ED confirmed he was summoned solely because of his position as finance chief at the airline.

According to Khanna’s Linkedin profile, he joined AirAsia India in April, 2016. Prior to that, he was the regional finance director at Air France where he had been since 1999.

In two years of operations, AirAsia India has lost or replaced about 10 top executives which includes CEO Mittu Chandilya, chief financial officer Vijay Gopalan and commercial director Gaurav Rathore, apart from the heads of flight operations, operations control, HR, cabin crew, security, group operations and corporate quality.
