Jet Airways acting CEO quits

He is the third top executive in the past year to part ways with the private airline

Press Trust of India Mumbai
Top-level exits at Naresh Goyal-promoted Jet Airways continued on Friday, with chief financial officer and acting chief executive officer (CEO) Ravishankar Gopalakrishnan quitting. The company did not give a reason for the resignation, which comes less than four months after Gopalakrishnan took over additional responsibility as CEO after Garry Toomey left mid-January. He is the third top executive in a year to part ways with the airline, in which Gulf carrier Etihad Airways holds a 24 per cent stake. After Jet announced the signing of the deal with Etihad last April, then CEO Nikos Kardassis quit.

The Mumbai-based airline brought in Toomey, an Australian considered close to Etihad CEO and President James Hogan, in June. He quit after a little over six months.
