MUMBAI: Jet Airways promoter and founder Naresh Goyal on Monday resigned from the company’s board in the wake of the debt crisis. His wife Anita Goyal also stepped down from the board of the company.
The resignation followed the airline board’s meeting in Mumbai on the day to decide on ways to procure interim funding as well as the future role of Goyal.

Sources said Goyal tendered his resignation at the emergency board meeting. “The main agenda, however, is to get interim funding,” said a source.
It was expected that after the meeting the State Bank of India, which is the lead lender of the consortium of bankers that lent to the airline, will infuse more funds.
