RAK Airways replaces CEO again

Dubai: RAK Airways has lost its new chief executive after only four months on the job, according to company sources.
Kishu Teckchandani is the second CEO to helm RAK Airways, which began charter flights to Turkey last week and has set its latest target for commercial launch in October.
RAK Airways is based in Ras Al Khaimah and is the fourth airline located in the UAE.
Teckchandani, a veteran civil aviation official from India, took the reins in late February from former chief executive Jack Romero, who was let go when it became clear the company's commercial operations would be delayed by several months.
No reasons were given to Gulf News for the sudden departure, but personnel executives said the company has since reorganised its management structure, with the chief operating officer now in charge of directing the company.
RAK Airways had originally planned a launch by late 2006.
But the airline was delayed by months in obtaining its air operator's certificate.
