Travel industry veteran Sanjiv Kapoor has been appointed as the new chief executive of Jet Airways on Friday by the Kalrock-Jalan consortium, the grounded airlines’ new promoters, as the budget airline gears up to fly once again this summer. Sanjiv Kapoor has been appointed as the CEO effective April 4, the consortium announced. Jet Airways, which has not flown since April, 2019, is in the process of re-launching operations under its new promoters in the first quarter of 2022.
Sanjiv Kapoor’s appointment comes days after Jet Airways appointed former SriLankan Airlines’ CEO, Vipula Gunatilleka as its new Chief Financial Officer. Jet is on its path to revival, and has started the hiring process for new crew and pilots after being grounded for nearly three years now.
