Waiting in the wings since April 2019 — when it was grounded due to a financial crisis — Jet Airways has been looking to hit the skies for long now. The new owners, British firm Kalrock Capital and UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan, have time and again asserted that Jet Airways 2.0 will take off in the beginning of this year.
But will everything go as planned? The company has recently seen a slew of resignations. This week, Sudhir Gaur, its accountable manager and acting chief executive de-boarded the company.
Gaur was heading the operations team and was involved in key negotiations for airport slots. The airline’s finance head and head of management information systems had quit two weeks ago.
