In a 1970 Mercedes 280 SL whose colour is described as signal red, Alec
Baldwin says to Jerry Seinfeld, "Your life has been one unbroken
boulevard of green lights, hasn't it?"
The line, spoken by Baldwin on Seinfeld's online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, comes to mind when you read about Mittu Chandilya, the CEO of AirAsia.
Only 33, Chandilya has everything that turns other men a shade of signal green — success, brains, looks, an exmodel as wife and lots of healthy kids.
As AirAsia breaks new ground in lowcost aviation in India despite cussed opposition from other Indian airlines, Chandilya, a double MBA (INSEAD France /Singapore and Tsinghua University, Beijing), covers the gamut of his universe with ETPanache.
What are the qualities needed to chase an airline operator's license in India?
Aviation is an extremely regulated industry and rightfully so. We have the responsibility towards our passengers and employees' safety. So fundamentally the CEO needs to be a "worrier". No complacency and no compromises.
Beyond that a CEO chasing an airline operator's license has to have unquenchable curiosity. Read the regulations, constantly ask questions (especially the silly ones), spend time with experts and then read again.
