Skyteam appoints new Managing Director

Michael Wisbrun is to become Managing Director of Skyteam, the airline alliance headed by Air France and Delta Air Lines.  He replaces Marie-Joseph Malé effective 1 June 2011.  As head of the management team, based in the central office in Amsterdam, Mr Wisbrun will be responsible for implementing the future strategic plan as set forth by the SkyTeam Governing Board.  He comes from KLM where he was instrumental in developing the KLM Northwest Joint Venture, the basis of the current transatlantic common enterprise with Delta, Air France, KLM and Alitalia.

Alongside Michael Wisbrun’s appointment, SkyTeam also announced that the position of Deputy Managing Director will be undertaken by Mr Su Liang a senior executive from China Southern.  His broad perspective on the emerging Asia Pacific markets will clearly help SkyTeam’s growing presence in the region and assist in solidifying SkyTeam’s position in the greater China region. www.skyteam.com
