Bmi has appointed Tim Shattock in the newly-created role of managing director.
He will be based at the airline’s East Midland’s head office as part of a restructured executive team, reporting directly to Group CEO of Airline Investments Limited Peter Simpson.
Shattock joins from Air Ambulance aircraft operator Babcock Mission Critical Services in Gloucester where he was managing director.
At Bmi he will oversee a team of over 400 people.
Simpson said: "We’re delighted to welcome Tim to the team as we restructure the bmi Exec team to replicate the structure we have in place with our sister airline, Loganair.
"We are continuing to drive bmi forward, engage with new markets and transition through Brexit.
"The creation of this role gives us greater bandwidth to focus on the immediate challenges ahead while working with the bmi team, to develop the business further unlocking the many opportunities presenting themselves on the back of solid foundation that has been created over the last couple of years."
