Donohoe, an Irish national, will take over as the head of Air India's Safety, Security and Quality functions from November 7, a release said on Friday.
     
He started his career at Aer Lingus in 1978 and became its Chief Pilot before going on to head key departments including Safety, Quality, Flight Operations and Engineering.
     
"Donohoe then spent seven years with Emirates Airline in various safety roles, ultimately as Divisional Senior Vice President Flight Operations and Primary Crisis Director," the release said.
     
Most recently, Donohoe served as Senior Vice President Safety, Security, Compliance & Emergency Response at Norwegian Air. At the airline, he was responsible for the integration of multiple AOCs and Safety, and security & compliance departments under a single entity, among other initiatives.
     
He has also served on the IATA Safety Committee and Flight Safety Foundation Board of Governance.
     
Welcoming Donohoe to the airline, Air India MD and CEO Campbell Wilson said, "even as we pursue our Vihaan.AI ambitions, including the tripling of our fleet, safe and secure operations remain Air India's number-one priority".
