Flybe confirms new financial chief
Flybe has made Ian Milne chief financial officer on a permanent basis, with effect from November 1.
Milne has been serving as Interim CFO since joining Flybe on August 15. The previous CFO, Philip de Klerk, left the airline at the end of September.
Prior to joining Flybe, Milne had a 20-year career at British Airways/International Airlines Group, most recently as IAG’s group financial controller and BA’s director of integration.
Earlier in his career, he worked in the London office of Ernst & Young and later wrote a book on international airline accounting, ‘Bridging the GAAP’. He left IAG in 2016 to set up his own consulting business.
CEO Christine Ourmieres-Widener said: "I am delighted that Ian is joining Flybe on a permanent basis. He brings a wealth of aviation industry experience along with strong financial management expertise.
"Ian has already made a positive impact on the business in the short time he has been working with us and I am confident that he will make a great contribution to both the Board and the Executive team in the future."
