Mumbai: Jet Airways’ chief financial officer (CFO) and acting chief executive officer (CEO) Ravishankar Gopalakrishnan has quit the airline after a year-and-a-half stint, which saw Etihad’s $379 million investment and record quarterly losses.
The reason behind Gopalakrishnan’s decision to leave Jet Airways is not known. The airline did not respond to an email query on the issue. Gopalakrishnan too did not respond to a text message seeking comment.
Gopalakrishnan, a chartered accountant, took up the post of CFO in the airline in October 2012 and was closely involved in negotiations with Etihad and financial revival of the airline. Prior to joining Jet Airways, he was associated with TVS Capital Funds, where he was the executive director & CFO.
He took charge as the acting CEO of Jet after Gary Toomey, an Australian national, left the airline in January, barely six months after joining the airline.
