Saroj Datta, 5 other Jet executives resignAt least half a dozen key executives at Jet Airways (India) Ltd, including the airline’s well regarded executive director Saroj K. Datta, are said to be quitting the carrier, India’s largest airline by passengers.
The surprise resignations come at a time when Jet Airways is sharply expanding its international operations and is set to report a turnaround at its low-cost airline unit, JetLite, the former Air Sahara business, later this year.
According to a person close to the matter who did not want to be named, Datta as well as N. Hariharan, vice-president (office of the chairman); B. Krishnan, senior general manager (finance); Col (retd) A. S. Bedi, general manager (security); S. Bandula, senior general manager (in-flight services) and Poh Leong Choo, senior vice-president (services), have submitted their resignations.
While the six resignations were confirmed by two other people with knowledge of the developments, it wasn’t immediately clear how Jet’s management is dealing with them individually. These same people also note that the resignations —over the last three weeks— appear unrelated.
