Jet Airways Vice-President (Sales) Rajeev Nambiar has quit and is returning to Etihad Airways after more than 18 months. He was the sales head of Etihad before joining Jet Airways in July 2014 and will now join Etihad at the same post of sales head.
Naveen Chawla, who heads sales for the western region, will take charge of Nambia's post in Jet.
A Jet Airways spokesperson confirmed Nambiar's resignation.
Both Ball and Nambiar worked with Etihad before taking up roles in Jet Airways.
In December, Ball resigned to join Alitalia in the same position. Both airlines are co-owned by Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways. Ball becomes the fourth CEO of the private carrier to have quit since April 2013 when it offloaded a part of its stake to Etihad.
The airline had then announced that its whole-time director Guarang Shetty will serve as the acting CEO under the supervision of chairman Naresh Goyal.
Ball was also the CEO of Air Seychelles (also owned by Etihad) before joining Jet Airways.
