Barathan Pasupathi will take on the role from 26 March

Jazeera Airways has announced that the airline’s current CEO, Rohit Ramachandran, will be stepping down after seven years with the organisation.

Barathan – best known as Bara – Pasupathi, a former CFO of Jazeera Airways, has been named the new CEO effective from 26 March 2024.

Well versed in key finance, management, and operations functions for airlines as well as aircraft procurement and leasing, Bara brings more than 30 years of experience in aviation, oil and gas, and supply chain management to his new role.

Commenting on the appointment, Jazeera Airways chairman Marwan Boodai said: “Rohit has been a strong visionary and passionate leader, and a true champion of our brand and our people. He has led Jazeera in its enormous chapter of growth and delivered solid and robust results with a deep commitment to operational excellence while building shareholder value, which is deeply respected by industry peers.

“I'm particularly grateful for the way Rohit helped navigate Jazeera through the pandemic, ensuring we are set up for future success. The business is now in a strong and resilient position and well placed to navigate the next chapter as we look towards the order book of 26 A320neo and A321neo aircraft. I'd like to thank Rohit for his exceptional contribution to Jazeera over many years.”

Prior to Jazeera Airways, Bara’s most recent role was CEO of Jetstar Asia, a Qantas Group airline based in Singapore for more than a decade.
