Extracts :

RYANAIR has named one of the two people who will replace outgoing chief operating officer Michael Cawley.
David O'Brien, currently head of flight and ground operations, has secured one of the roles.

Following the airline's AGM in September, Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary indicated that the carrier was likely to split Mr Cawley's role and make two appointments to cover his duties. Mr Cawley undertakes negotiations with airports across Europe on behalf of Ryanair.
Mr O'Brien will now take over that mantle from Mr Cawley, handling route development, traffic management and other activities, including links with airports.

It's understood that the second appointment, which will be for a director of sales and marketing, will be made early in the new year.

Ryanair has also told staff that the airline's current director of engineering, Mick Hickey, will become the group director of operations, taking over Mr O'Brien's existing role. Mr Hickey, who joined Ryanair in 1988, will be responsible for all engineering, flight and ground operations.
