EasyJet gains new board member

Charles Gurassa, once tipped to run British Airways, has joined the board of easyJet as a Non-Executive Director and becomes Deputy Chairman from 1 September.

Gurassa’s long experience in the airline and travel sector includes spells with Thomas Cook, the Thomson organisation (in its Britannia Airways days), and TUI, its present owner, plus senior positions with British Airways and its subsidiaries.

At the Business Travel Market last week easyJet used the opportunity to introduce its new sales team tasked to attract corporate clients and closely follows the launch of its Flexi Fare.  The sales team members, known as Business Partners, will work with all elements of the business travel market to help deliver efficient travel policies for today’s cost conscious companies.

James Marchant comes from Virgin Atlantic.  Adrian Keating is a corporate specialist with over 10 years of experience with British Airways and Etihad, and Paul Davis is also a corporate specialist and joins easyJet from Sabre Travel Network where he was responsible for premier accounts within new business sales. www.easyjet.com
