Goair CEO Cornelis Vrieswijk quits within 9 months, cites personal reasons

Mumbai: The Wadia group-promoted no- frills airline Goair has seen ethe xit of its third chief executive in the past four years with the resignation of Cornelis Vrieswijk Wednesday, within nine months of taking over the job.
The Dutch national Vrieswijk was a former executive of the American low-cost airline Easyjet and boarded Goair only last June when it was preparing to fly international.
He joined Goair six months after the departure of then chief executive Wolfgang Prock-Schauer on a bitter note and then checked into the rival IndiGo as its chief operating officer from January 2018.
The airline has cited "family matters," as the reason for Vrieswijk's abrupt exit and said managing director Jeh Wadia will be discharging the additional responsibility of the chief executive till a replacement is found.
"It is unfortunate that despite best efforts, my family did not shift to India but rather wants me to be back with them in Amsterdam," Vrieswijk was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the airline.
The latest domestic carrier to fly international, Goair currently operates across 24 domestic and three international destinations.
"At the nominations and remunerations committee meeting held by the board on February 8, Vrieswijk expressed his desire to relocate to Amsterdam since his family was not wishing to settle down in Mumbai.

"The board understood his compulsions to move back and accepted his reasoning to move on," the airline said, adding he will stay on to ensure a smooth transition.
