An accomplished industry leader and an aviation professional with close to three decades of global business experience, Vinay has an established track record of leadership and business expansion at large, complex, multi-national organisations including varied roles at Delta Air Lines, Sabre, and American Airlines in the USA, Europe and Asia.

In his last role as SVP-Asia Pacific for Delta Air Lines, Vinay headed the region as Business Head with P&L responsibility and was also a Board Observer at China Eastern.

During his tenure in Asia, Vinay successfully led the turnaround of the airline in the Asia Pacific markets, restructured the network, established strategic partnerships, worked extensively on brand-building and successfully brought about a transformation in the work culture of his teams. He has also held various board-level positions throughout his career.

Vinay said, "I am indeed happy to return to India after more than three decades to join the country's premier international airline at an extremely interesting and exciting time. I am privileged to have been entrusted with this crucial role in a company that espouses key Indian values of service and hospitality. I look forward to meeting the organisation's objectives, with the support of the entire management team and employees, in order to strengthen and grow the airline and its illustrious legacy."

Vinay's appointment was approved by the Jet Airways Board of Directors in May, but has only just receved all the requisite government and regulatory approvals.
