Chennai-based SpiceJet’s General Manager for airport services Rahul Bhatkoti has quit the carrier, giving a jolt to the crisis-ridden carrier, sources said.
“(Rahul) Bhatkoti quit the carrier some time back. However, the reason for his parting ways with the carrier are still not known,” sources privy to the information told PTI.
Bhatkoti had been handling SpiceJet’s airport operations for North and East and had been with the carrier since 2005, they said. Before joining Kalanithi Maran’s no-frills airline, he had served erstwhile Sahara Airlines and Damania Airways.
When contacted, SpiceJet said Bhatkoti’s parting ways with the carrier has come in the wake of the recent restructuring in the airline. “Rahul’s parting ways with us occurred several days back as part of our restructuring of airports and ground services,” SpiceJet said in a statement.
