SpiceJet COO Sanjiv Kapoor quits

SpiceJet’s Chief Operating Officer Sanjiv Kapoor put down his papers before the expiry of his employment contract. His original tenure was to run until November 2016. His resignation comes ten months after original promoter Ajay Singh took over the ownership of airline.
  • Sanjiv Kapoor was appointed by the then owner Kalanithi Maran.
  • He will join the leadership team at Vistara; an airline company based in Gurgaon and is jointly owned by Singapore Airlines and Tata Sons.
  • Earlier he served as the chief executive of GMG Airlines of Bangladesh and leader of airline practice at global consultancy Bain.
Reason behind resignation
He was given a supporting role after the ownership was transferred to Ajay Singh, a cofounder of SpiceJet. The reduced role contributed to Kapoor’s decision to exit SpiceJet. Singh also became the company’s official spokesman, a task that was performed by Kapoor.
