Jet Airways’ new promoters have chosen former Sri Lankan Airlines chief executive officer, Vipula Gunatilleka, as its chief financial officer.
The aviation expert, who will join Jet Airways on March 1, has been credited for turning around the fortunes of SriLankan Airlines and TAAG Angola Airlines.
Jet Airways was grounded in April 2019 after struggling with massive debt and a cash crunch.
It then underwent the corporate insolvency resolution process which ended last year, following which a consortium comprising UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan and London-based Kalrock Capital became its new promoters.
