Flybe CE Saad Hammad steps down
Flybe CE Saad Hammad has stepped down, effective immediately, by “mutual agreement,” the airline said. “Both the board and Saad believe it is time for a new CE to lead the next phase of Flybe’s long-term development,” Flybe said Wednesday. Flybe non-executive chairman Simon Laffin has taken on the role of executive chairman until a successor is found. Hammad joined Flybe in August 2013 and has headed up the airline’s turnaround plan. Laffin said the airline is “significantly stronger” following the transformation, citing Hammad’s leadership as a “major contributor” to that change. In an unusual move, pilot union BALPA said: “We’re sorry to hear that CE Saad Hammad will be moving on from Flybe. We’ve enjoyed a good relationship with him and he has had a positive impact on the airline during his 3 years.” <br/>
