IndiGo named an aviation industry heavyweight as its new CEO on Tuesday.

IndiGo 昨天宣佈，由一位航空業重量級人物接任新執行長。

The Indian airline said the former boss of British Airways, Willie Walsh, will take charge later this year.

這家印度航空表示，前 British Airways 執行長 Willie Walsh 將在今年稍晚接掌職務。

He's currently leading the International Air Transport Association industry body.

他目前正領導國際航空運輸協會這個產業組織。

他在那裡的任期將於七月結束，

IndiGo said he's expected to join their company by August 3rd at the latest.

IndiGo 表示，他預計最晚在八月三日加入他們公司。

Walsh has built a long career in commercial aviation.

Walsh 在商業航空領域累積了長久的職涯。

He was CEO of Irish airline Air Lingus before taking over at British Airways in 2005.

在 2005 年接任 British Airways 執行長之前，他曾是愛爾蘭航空 Air Lingus 的執行長。

It was there where he had to lead the airline through the global financial crisis and oversee a merger with Iberia to create IAG.

在那裡，他必須帶領航空公司度過全球金融危機，並監督與 Iberia 合併成立 IAG。

His appointment comes weeks after Peter Elbers suddenly stepped down as IndiGo's CEO.

他的任命是在 Peter Elbers 突然辭去 IndiGo 執行長職位幾週後發生的。

It followed regulators criticising the airline's failure to plan enough for pilot rest and duty rules.

這是因為監管機構批評該航空公司未能充分規劃飛行員的休息和值勤規定。

That led to mass flight cancellations in December in what was the carrier's biggest crisis in its 20-year history.

這導致了 12 月的大規模班機取消，這是該航空公司 20 年歷史上最嚴重的危機。

IndiGo has about a 65% share of India's aviation market, which is the world's fastest growing.

IndiGo 在印度航空市場中約佔 65% 的市佔率，而印度是全球成長最快的市場。
