Jet Airways chief Naresh Goyal's flight has finally landed, for good. The man who kept his premium airline afloat through thick and thin over the course of a quarter of a century has finally run out of ideas and supporters in the face of mounting debt. Things may still have turned out well, but the chances of the airline soaring back to its heyday diminished on a virtually daily basis to negligible with smaller, more nimble and above all, affordable, airlines nibbling away at its market share, leaving it just a shadow of the proud airline it was. The notable part was that the airline is still considered worth buying! Just check teh suitors, from Etihad itself to the redoubtable Tatas are interested in taking control. However, Naresh Goyal was not part of their plans to revive the airline. They wanted him out and then only would they step in to save the airline.

Unwilling to see his beloved airline disappear like Vijay Mallya's Kingfisher Airlines, Goyal finally threw in the towel after putting up a fight that lasted for months and months as he explored ways and means to get the funds to keep the salaries of the airliner's employees, including those of pilots, flowing. Nothing panned out for Goyal and now, he has quit. It paves the way for buyers and lenders to get together and chalk out plans to get Jet Airways planes flying again.
