NEW DELHI: Naresh Goyal’s descension from Jet Airways marks the end of his 26-year-long stint at the helm of the airline. After cutting his teeth as a cashier in his uncle’s travel firm in early 1960s, Goyal worked his way up and held important positions in a number of airlines in the coming years.
In 1991, when Indian economy was liberalised, Goyal seized the opportunity. He launched Jet Airways in 1993, along with five other airlines that came up during the same time to challenge the monopoly of Air India.
