Jet Airways has appointed Dale Moss, formerly of British Airways as its new chief operating officer. The COO post at Jet Airways had fallen vacant following the exit of Peter Luethi at the end of his contract in March.

Dale Moss has been head of sales at British Airways till recently. The high-profile Moss was heading sales at BA when the aviation market was impacted by 9/11 tremors.

Following the exit of Peter Luethi and entry of Garry Kingshott as chief commercial officer, it was expected that Kingshott will be allowed to continue as operational head of Jet Airways. Now, it seems he will be the head of sales, reporting to Dale Moss.

The 55-year old Dale Moss has been with British Airways for 30 years, where he had a successful stint. The company had asked him to stay on, but he was bent on going. Moss was a key member of Rod Eddington's leadership team at British Airways.
