Air India, Air India Express and AirAsia India will be housed jointly in a modern office location at the newly-constructed Vatika One-on-One campus in NCR by March 2023. Starting September, the Air India Group has begun vacating some of its offices presently housed in Government-owned premises across India.
The company’s Airlines House, located in Safdarjung Complex, GSD Complex and IGI Terminal-1 in Delhi, is its largest staffed location and these employees will move to an interim office space in Gurugram, NCR, before ultimately relocating to the Vatika One-On-One development in early 2023. Air India Express and Air Asia India will also relocate to this campus.
Campbell Wilson, CEO & Managing Director, Air India, said, “The consolidation of many premises under one roof, and the evolution from a regionalised to centralised structure, is a significant milestone in Air India’s transformation journey. Aside from improving the opportunity for collaboration, upgrading employees’ work environment and enhancing effectiveness both within and across functions, it is a powerful catalyst for cultural transformation. Together with the deployment of new technology and communication platforms, and the co-location of Air India with sister airlines, it is an exciting step forward.”
“The consolidation of workspaces is being undertaken to improve collaboration, strengthen the organisation’s culture, upgrade employees’ work environment and facilities, and more easily deploy new technology,” a company release said. A senior team is also relooking at the offices in different cities, which are housed in legacy premises, with some in Chennai and Kochi having already moved to modern office premises.
Air India’s regionalised organisation structure will also be progressively disbanded and replaced with a centralised one, allowing consolidation of presently-dispersed teams, co-location of managers with their teams and physical adjacency of related functions.
