Sanjiv Kapoor has been appointed chief executive of Jet Airways

 Kapoor formerly worked at SpiceJet as the chief operational officer and at Vistara as the chief strategy and commercial officer.



Jet Airways announced on Friday that Sanjiv Kapoor,  aviation veteran, will take over as the airline's next chief executive officer.

According to the Economic Times, Kapoor, who previously held positions as chief operating officer at SpiceJet and chief strategy and commercial officer at Vistara, resigned from his position as president of Oberoi Hotels on Thursday, claiming personal reasons.

 

Jet Airways stopped operations in April of this year. The Jalan-Kalrock group, which is comprised of UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan and UK-based investment firm Kalrock Capital, was picked to bring the airline back into operation two years later.

Kapoor will begin working for Jet on April 4. Vipula Gunatilleka, the former CEO of Srilankan Airlines, was previously hired as the company's chief financial officer.

I am looking forward to getting back to aviation. Even though Jet Airways has been out of operation for three years, it still has a large fan base of loyal customers who miss it every day and can't wait for it to take to the skies again," PTI quoted Kapoor as saying.

"I always believe in investing in human capital and by having Sanjiv as the CEO and Vipula as the CFO, I am certain Jet Airways will reclaim its lost glory and surpass everyone's expectation," said Murari Lal Jalan, lead partner of the Jalan-Kalrock Consortium and proposed non-executive chairman of Jet Airways.
