Mumbai: It takes sheer guts to found and fly an airline for 27 years, in a period that saw the ambitious launches of several Indian carriers that only got grounded a few years down the line. For Naresh Goyal, his ingenuity in crisis-handling was a key asset all through, say people who knew him closely.
On Monday, the man who successfully battled competition to Jet Airways (India) Ltd from foreign airlines—and also took on domestic heavyweights—was forced out as chairman of the company he founded in 1992.
July 2018 was a tough month for Goyal, who had fought and emerged victorious in all his battles, yet.
