He has experience in aviation leadership and engineering commercial carriers including Air India, Vistara, Indigo, SpiceJet, Kingfisher Airlines, and Air Deccan.
Misra's expertise in full-service, and low-cost carriers will provide "technical and operational direction during this interim period, as the national carrier of Sri Lanka works towards enhancing its performance and long-term sustainability," the airline said.
