Vasu Raja, American Airlines’ chief commercial officer, will depart the company in June, the airline said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Word of Raja’s exit comes a week after the airline denied that he was planning to leave the company, amid rumors that he was not present in the airline’s office and had been ousted by a board that was unhappy with American’s revenue strategy.<\/p>\n

In a statement to the Airline Observer<\/a> newsletter last week, an American Airlines spokesperson said that Raja was working remotely “for a few weeks while he takes care of some personal matters,” but was “not leaving.”<\/p>\n

The airline did not elaborate on the reason for Raja’s departure, nor what had changed since last week. It was not clear whether the departure had been decided on since last week, or otherwise.<\/p>\n
