IAG changes

Luis Gallego and Keith Williams are to stand down from the International Airlines Group (IAG) Board to focus on their responsibilities at Iberia and British Airways.

Iberia’s Chief Executive, Luis Gallego, will also become the Spanish airline’s Chairman, while BA’s Chief Executive, Keith Williams, adds the chairmanship of the UK carrier to his role.  Both will continue to report to IAG’s Chief Executive, Willie Walsh.

The Group also said that Antonio Vázquez and Sir Martin Broughton would resign as Non-Executive Chairmen of Iberia and British Airways respectively, to focus on their functions as Chairman and Deputy Chairman/Senior Independent Director of IAG.

In addition, Fernando Vives has tendered his resignation as Secretary of the IAG Board and his current deputy, Álvaro López-Jorrín, has been appointed to the role.  Lucila Rodríguez has been named Deputy Secretary.

The changes, all of which are effective from 1 January, mean that the IAG Board will comprise 12 members, of which two will be Executive Directors – the Group’s Chief Executive and Group Chief Financial Officer. www.iairgroup.com
