Air India Ltd. is considering appointing Balagopal Kunduvara as chief financial officer, tapping the veteran of Singapore Airlines Ltd. to help revive the Indian carriers finances after a record loss, according to people familiar with the matter.Kunduvara is a frontrunner for the position, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. Most recently, he was finance chief for Garuda Indonesia, a position he recently left after holding the job for little more than a year.Also read | Australia's Qantas Airways to cut 850 jobs as AI takes off, back-office work shifts to IndiaPrior to that, Kunduvara spent more than two decades at Singapore Airlines, which is a partial owner of Air India alongside conglomerate Tata Group. Air India is seeking 100 billion rupees ($1.1 billion) in funding from its owners, Bloomberg News reported previously.An Air India spokesman didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.Air India is in the midst of a turnaround effort led by newly appointed Chief Executive Officer Tewolde Gebremariam after it posted a loss of more than 220 billion rupees last fiscal year. Tewolde has said he will focus on cutting costs.Kunduvara announced his departure from Garuda in a post on LinkedIn. While his time at the airline had been relatively brief, it coincided with an important period in the companys transformation, he said.A spokesperson for Garuda confirmed that Kunduvara had left the company.Kunduvara would take the CFO role as Air India faces high fuel costs due to the war in Iran. It also has to contend with geopolitical challenges that include a drop in traffic to the Middle East and being barred from Pakistani airspace, which forces west-bound flights from its main hub in New Delhi to take a circuitous route.Also read | Airlines go premium as demand for business-class seats outpaces economyTewolde, who previously led Ethiopian Airlines Group, has been looking to bolster Air Indias underperforming cargo business, and integrate key departments at Air India and its low-cost arm, Air India Express, to cut costs.The CEO is also looking at whether more flights to Europe and the US should be routed through Mumbai instead of Delhi to get around the Pakistani airspace closing.

Six other Indian cities also recorded AQI levels above 1,000 at 9 pm on Sunday, according to the platform.On Monday morning, AQI.in recorded Delhi's air quality at 637, classifying it as 'hazardous'.According to IQAir, the concentration of PM2.5 stood at 170 micrograms per cubic metre, around 34 times the World Health Organisation's annual guideline value.The high AQI also pushed up PM 10 and PM2.5 levels in the national capital.The concentration of PM10 was 126 micrograms per cubic metre, while ozone levels stood at 31, nitrogen dioxide at 44.6 and sulphur dioxide at 32.

Many people are even having to give up their morning walks for the sake of their health, he said.Ashok Yadav, a resident of Sector-14, said pollution has become a cause for concern even for those who head out for morning walks.Instead of merely issuing directives, the government and the administration should take concrete, on-the-ground measures to control pollution so that people can get relief, he added.In Punjab, the 24-hour AQI reading in Jalandhar and Mandi Gobindgarh was 336, in the 'very poor' category, while Ludhiana (292), Amritsar (257) and Patiala (221) were all in the 'poor' category.
