Mumbai: Jet Airways (India) Ltd promoter Naresh Goyal’s son Nivaan Goyal, who has been playing an active role in negotiations with lenders, is likely to be inducted into the cash-strapped airline’s board of directors, a person with direct knowledge of the matter told Mint.
Nivaan Goyal is likely to be elevated as a board member soon, said the person who asked not to be identified, adding that Jet Airways lenders and shareholder Etihad Airways PJSC have supported the elevation.
“Lenders don’t want a situation where only they have to deal with Etihad. This is why they supported Nivaan’s elevation to the board,” the person said, adding that Nivaan Goyal could be elevated to the executive director’s position in the board in the coming days.
