Ryanair CCO to quit crisis-hit airline
Ryanair’s CCO will leave the crisis-hit airline at the end of the month, its CE, Michael O’Leary, has announced. Michael Hickey’s resignation comes after the airline had to scrap the bookings of more than 700,000 passengers last month due to an apparent shortage of pilots, having failed to plan for enough leave for staff. O’Leary said: “He will be a hard act to replace, which is why we are grateful he has agreed to continue in an advisory role to smooth the transition to a successor and to complete a number of large projects he is currently working on”. Hickey will be the first executive to leave the embattled airline after the scheduling crisis. The company was already under heavy fire for cancelling up to 50 flights a day in the middle of September before an extra 18,000 flights were axed at the end of the month. <br/>
