Paul Schutz resigns as Aer Arann CEO

Board member Seán Brogan has been named interim CEO.

PAUL SCHUTZ HAS resigned as the head of Aer Arann.

A spokesperson for the airline told TheJournal.ie that he is leaving the company “amicably and for personal reasons”.

He will remain involved at Aer Arann for “a short time” to facilitate the changeover.

Board member Seán Brogan has been named as the interim CEO of the airline.

“He has been working closely with Paul and management over the past year,” the spokeswoman said.

Schutz took over as CEO on 1 January 2009 but has been with the airline since 2006. He previously worked at Ryanair, British Airways, Eirjet and Virgin Express.

Aer Arann suspended some of its flight routes for this winter season, leading to staff cuts at Galway Airport.

    You’re right (for a change) Mule.
    The majority of these properties are from Bank Of Scotland Ireland’s/Halifax’s loanbook.
    The likes of AIB and Co. are just waiting for all BOSI’s/Halifax’s Repos to be sold (whilst the same time bleeding their distressed customers dry), and then AIB and Co. turn into Cromwell.
    I suppose in a sick lot of ways the BOS/Halifax way is more swift and less painless, than the Irish Bank’s Water Torture.
    Disgusting.
    Truly Disgusting!!

    What could you do with a third of an acre ( probably less when you include ditches and the road way ) of agricultural land in inniscarra , that would make it 24 thousand an acre…
