Aer Lingus on Friday named Christoph Mueller CEO, replacing Dermot Mannion, who stepped down in April.
Mueller, 47, most recently served as TUI Travel's aviation director, a position that gave him responsibility for the company's seven airlines. He joined TUI in early 2006 (ATWOnline, Oct. 1, 2008). Prior to that, he was DHL Worldwide's CFO and a member of Duetsche Post's executive committee. EI said he also has held senior positions with Daimler Benz Aerospace, Lufthansa and Sabena.
He will take over the position on Oct. 1, ending a period of more than five months in which Chairman Colm Barrington assumed most of the CEO duties (ATWOnline, April 7). Barrington said Mueller has a "proven track record within the aviation industry" and was selected following a "thorough and rigorous recruitment process."
