Neil Sorahan will replace Howard Millar as chief financial officer at Ryanair with effect from October 1.
Sorahan has been operating as Howard Millar’s deputy for the last eight years .
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said: "He will work closely with Howard over the next six months to ensure a smooth transition as Howard departs to take up new career challenges.
"All of us in Ryanair look forward to working with Neil as he becomes chief financial officer. He has a hard act to follow, but as we enter into a five year period of renewed growth, with new aircraft deliveries starting in September and a rapidly improving customer experience, we all believe that Neil is the right person to fill the void left by Howard."
