Shilpa Bhatia, who recently quit as IndiGo's Chief Sales and Revenue Officer, has rejoined SpiceJet Ltd. as its Chief Commercial Officer, the airline said on Friday.

Bhatia was the Chief Sales and Revenue Officer at SpiceJet before she quit in August last year and joined Indigo. "This is Shilpa's third stint with SpiceJet," the airline’s statement added.

"Shilpa Bhatia will report to Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet, and will look after revenue management, sales and network planning in her new role," SpiceJet said in a press release.

Bhatia had resigned from IndiGo in January after spending around five months with the company. "I am delighted to be back at SpiceJet - the company with which I have had the longest and the closest association in my career," Bhatia said.
