The airline said that Agarwal resigned due to personal reasons and his resignation is with effect from yesterday. Amit Agarwal joined the airline in December 2015.

Cash-strapped Jet Airways, which stopped its operations on 17 April due to an acute cash crunch, has seen a slew of top executives and board members leave the airline in the past few months.
In April, former chief election commissioner Nasim Zaidi quit his position as non-executive and non-independent director on the airline’s board citing ‘personal reasons’ and ‘time constraints’. Independent director Rajshree Pathy had also quit the board of the airline in April, weeks after founder Naresh Goyal and his wife Anita Goyal quit the airline’s board.
