BREAKING: Wizz Air president resigns!
Wizz Air Holdings Plc. President Robert Carey left the company today. Bloomberg wrote the decision paved the way “for promotions of three executives across the Hungarian budget carrier”.
We shared an article about Mr Carey’s interview with AeroTelegraph, a German air travel media outlet, in which he talked about expansion plans, Ukraine operation, the problems with the Pratt & Whitney engines and Wizz Air’s new flights with their new A321 XLR planes. He did not talk about departing the airline.
Based on Bloomberg, “Chief Operations Officer Michael Delehant will become senior chief commercial and operations officer, while Diarmuid O’Conghaile, the managing director of Wizz Air Malta, will become chief operating officer, Wizz said in a statement. Head of Operations Control Mauro Peneda will be taking on O’Conghaile’s role at Wizz Air Malta.”
