Karnik was appointed Chief Operating Officer-designate, pending regulatory clearances, only in July this year.

While a spokesperson for the airline said Karnik left Jet for "family reasons", there have been several other high- profile exits over the past few months. They include two CEOs Nikos Kardassis and Gary K Toomey, Chief Commercial Officer Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Financial Officer Ravishankar Gopalakrishnan and Vice President (Investor Relations) K G Vishwanath, after Jet and Abu Dhabi- based Etihad struck the deal in November last year. "Subodh Karnik, Chief Operating Officer (Designate) will be leaving Jet Airways for family reasons and is returning to Atlanta to be closer to his wife and children who were unable to move to India," a Jet spokesperson said here.

"He will continue to work with Jet Airways in an advisory capacity on key strategic initiatives," she added.
