EasyJet has confirmed that UK director Paul Simmons has decided to leave the airline.

It said he will be taking up a lead commercial role in another UK travel company, but neither easyJet nor Simmons has named his future employer.

In a statement issued yesterday, easyJet said it would like to thank Paul "for his passion, dedication, hard work and pioneering spirit over the last seven years".

Simmons joined easyJet in June 2006 and during his time at the airline he was responsible for overseeing the commercial roll-out of many new initiatives including Speedy Boarding, easyJet Plus and GDS distribution as well as leading easyJet’s commercial team in the UK and overseeing leisure sales and easyJet holidays.
