Alan Murray, managing director of First Aviation and a director of Monarch Airlines since July 2003, is to leave the group on October 31.
A statement from Monarch said he was leaving “having earlier expressed his desire to do soâ€.
The group is now in the process of appointing a new head of the charter division and said a further announcement will be made in due course.
“Until this time Alan’s responsibilities will be assumed on an interim basis by a management group including Tim Jeans, managing director of Monarch Airlines Limited, Kevin George, managing director Airline Operations, and John Romo, director and general manager of First Aviation,†said the statement.
The Monarch Group recently announced a widespread restructuring management team following a review at the start of this year.
“The Group Executive Committee thanks Alan for his contribution to the charter business of Monarch Airlines these past seven years and wishes him every success in the future,†added the statement.
