Ryanair manager joins Aer Lingus

Ryanair has announced that Sean Coyle, its Director of Scheduled Revenue, has resigned to take up the position of Chief Financial Officer in Aer Lingus Group plc in which Ryanair is a 29% shareholder.

Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said today:

“We wish Sean Coyle every success in his new role. We are pleased to see Aer Lingus recruit some decent management and hope that Sean will introduce some of the changes we have been calling for in Aer Lingus, such as reducing their short haul fares (which have long risen 5% in the last year) and scrapping their unfair and unjustified fuel surcharges which have been increased five times in the last year.”
