Jet Airways on Tuesday announced the appointment of its new CEO, aviation specialist Cramer Ball, after its earlier chief quit in January.
The airline’s activities were since that time being managed by Director and Manager Gaurang Shetty, who will continue to lead it “till the requisite approvals are obtained and Ball assumes charge as the CEO,” said a Jet spokesperson.
Jet’s last CEO, Garry Kenneth Toomey, had quit in mid-January, barely seven months after taking charge of the airline.
The Jet Board of Directors has cleared Mr. Ball’s appointment subject to receipt of requisite government and regulatory approvals, including security clearance, the spokesperson said.
