A permanent appointment will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2020\/10\/italy-appoints-alitalias-management-group-the-first-step-towards-nationalizing-the-company.html\">Italy appoints Alitalia management group, the first step towards nationalizing the company.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Announcing the changes, IAG chief executive, Luis Gallego, said: \u201cIAG has proved itself to be one of the world\u2019s leading airline groups with a portfolio of successful companies. We\u2019re navigating the worst crisis faced in our industry and I\u2019m confident these internal promotions will ensure IAG is well placed to emerge in a strong position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I want to thank Alex for all that he has done at British Airways. He worked tirelessly to modernise the airline in the years leading up to the celebration of its 100th anniversary. Since then, he has led the airline through a particularly demanding period and has secured restructuring agreements with the vast majority of employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSean Doyle has extensive experience at British Airways having worked there for 20 years before moving to head Aer Lingus nearly two years ago where he has done an excellent job. I am confident that will continue at British Airways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFernando Candela, who has more than 25 years of experience in aviation and excelled at both Iberia Express and LEVEL, joins our management committee in the new chief transformation officer role. He will coordinate change across the Group, focusing on creating a company fit for a different future and ready to take advantage of new opportunities. In the short term, he will also remain chief executive of LEVEL until a replacement is appointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs our new team comes together, we remain focused on making the right operational and strategic decisions for the long-term benefit of all IAG\u2019s stakeholders\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
