Sources say that whenever foreign nationals are appointed to key positions in an Indian company, the Home Ministry scrutinizes all of them ‘closely’. This process will also be applicable to the newly appointed CEO and MD.
He says that the Home Ministry has not yet received any information from the IC, nor from the Tata Group or the Ministry of Civil Aviation. On receipt of the information, the process of security clearance will be initiated.
Being a citizen of Turkey, the Ministry of Home Affairs can take the help of RAW to check the background of IC.

Iyi was also the chairman of Turkish Airlines from 2015 to 2022.
