Virgin Blue e-commerce head joins SkyEurope
Slovakian budget airline SkyEurope has recruited a new commercial head from Virgin Blue in Australia.
The Australian airline’s head of e-commerce Steven Greenway is to replace Karim Makhlouf as chief commercial officer, who is to leave at the end of the year.
In other changes, SkyEurope co-founder Christian Mandl has left the airline’s management board to join the parent company’s supervisory board as a non-executive director.
The senior management changes came as the airline reported a fourth quarter pre-tax profit of 14.3 million euros, based on a year-on-year rise in revenues of 22%. The airline carried 1.1 million passengers in the quarter, up from 991,000 the same time last year.
Chief financial officer Nick Manoudakis, one of the founders of easyJet who joined SkyEurope in May, said: “We have focused and will continue to focus on delivering stronger revenues with a better product, utilising our assets better and significantly improving our cost base while maintaining growth.”
The airline runs a fleet of 14 Boeing 737-700s and runs flights from the UK airports of Luton, Birmingham and Manchester in addition to Dublin and Cork in Ireland.
