NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Jet Airways said on Thursday Chief Executive Garry Kenneth Toomey had resigned, six months after joining the country's No.2 carrier by domestic market share.
Jet Airways, which closed a deal last November to sell a 24 percent stake to Abu Dhabi's Etihad, did not give a reason for Toomey's resignation, which it said was with immediate effect.
Chief Financial Officer Ravishankar Gopalakrishnan will be the acting CEO until the board names a new chief, Jet Airways said in a stock exchange filing.
Toomey, an Australian national who previously worked with airlines, including Air New Zealand and Qantas , joined Jet Airways in July last year.
Jet Airways posted a record loss for its fiscal second quarter to end-September.
