Saudi Low-Cost Carrier Sees Leadership Change After Period Of Rapid Expansion
Steven Greenway, the CEO of Saudi low-cost carrier flyadeal, has announced his resignation due to personal reasons, after leading the airline through a period of significant growth. During his tenure, flyadeal saw passenger figures grow by nearly one third, and the airline ordered 10 A330-900neo aircraft to enter the long-haul market. Sanjiv Kapoor, EVP Strategies, Transformation and Sustainability at Saudia, will serve as interim CEO until a permanent replacement is appointed. The move follows recent senior management changes at other prominent low-cost carriers, including IndiGo and Jazeera Airways, and was first reported by AeroTime.
