Air India sacked Pawan Arora as the Chief Operating Officer of its low budget airline, less than two months after his appointment. Official sources said the cash-strapped state-owned airline's Board of Directors which met in New Delhi on Thursday decided to “dispense with” the services of Mr Arora.Regarding another appointment of Stefan Sukumar as the airline's Chief of Training, the Board decided to set-up a committee to study the procedural aspects of his entry, directing that a report on the matter be submitted within a fortnight. Controversy broke out over the appointment of Arora and Sukumar in September-end amid reports that both did not fulfill the minimum requirements for the posts.
