Ryanair has appointed veteran executive Eddie Wilson as chief executive of Ryanair’s main airlines business, but he will report to Michael O’Leary who will become CEO of the Ryanair Group.
Wilson, who has worked at Ryanair for 22 years, has been in charge of negotiations with unions for the past two years as chief people officer. He will take over from Sept. 1, Ryanair said in a note to staff seen by Reuters.
Ryanair has been moving to a structure similar to that of British Airways-owner IAG by operating an increasing number of subsidiaries.
Ryanair Holdings plc, Europe’s largest low-cost airline group, is the parent company of Poland’s Buzz, Austria’s Lauda, Malta Air and Dublin-based Ryanair DAC, which Wilson will lead.
