IAG senior management changes
International Airlines Group (IAG) is today announcing changes
to its senior management team with immediate effect.
-- Alex Cruz, British Airways chairman and chief executive, is
to step down as chief executive and remain the airline's
non-executive chairman.
-- Sean Doyle, Aer Lingus chairman and chief executive, will
become the new chief executive of British Airways and take over as
chairman after a transition period.
-- Fernando Candela, LEVEL chief executive, is joining the
Group's management committee in a new role of chief transformation
officer.
-- At Aer Lingus, Donal Moriarty, currently the airline's chief
corporate affairs officer, will become interim chief executive. A
permanent appointment will be announced in due course.
Announcing the changes, IAG chief executive, Luis Gallego, said:
"IAG has proved itself to be one of the world's leading airline
groups with a portfolio of successful companies. We're navigating
the worst crisis faced in our industry and I'm confident these
internal promotions will ensure IAG is well placed to emerge in a
strong position.
"I want to thank Alex for all that he has done at British
Airways. He worked tirelessly to modernise the airline in the years
leading up to the celebration of its 100th anniversary. Since then,
he has led the airline through a particularly demanding period and
has secured restructuring agreements with the vast majority of
employees.
"Sean Doyle has extensive experience at British Airways having
worked there for 20 years before moving to head Aer Lingus nearly
two years ago where he has done an excellent job. I am confident
that will continue at British Airways.
"Fernando Candela, who has more than 25 years of experience in
aviation and excelled at both Iberia Express and LEVEL, joins our
management committee in the new chief transformation officer role.
He will coordinate change across the Group, focusing on creating a
company fit for a different future and ready to take advantage of
new opportunities. In the short term, he will also remain chief
executive of LEVEL until a replacement is appointed.
"As our new team comes together, we remain focused on making the
right operational and strategic decisions for the long-term benefit
of all IAG's stakeholders".
