New boss for East Midlands

Continuing the drive to attract new airlines to East Midlands Airport has been identified as a priority by the facility’s new managing director, Karen Smart, currently director of landside operations at Stansted, whose appointment was announced last week.

She will take up her role next month and will lead a team of more than 500 staff. She joined MAG, which owns Stansted and East Midlands, in 2014 and during her time with the business also served as Stansted’s customer services and security director.

She said: “It’s a hugely exciting time in the aviation industry and I feel privileged to be taking on the role of MD at East Midlands. I’m looking forward to continuing the campaign for new airlines to serve this vibrant region and further improving the customer experience.”

Before joining MAG she spent several years at the service provider Serco and had a distinguished career in the RAF.

Smart takes over at East Midlands from Andy Cliffe, who has been the airport’s managing director for five years and with MAG for 19. He is leaving for a new role as CEO of Midland Expressway, the company responsible for operating the M6 toll road.
