Wizz Air president departs airline

(Sharecast News) - The president of Wizz Air Holdings has left the budget airline, it was confirmed on Wednesday, prompting a shake-up of senior management. The London-listed Hungarian carrier said Robert Carey, 44, had departed to pursue other interests after three years as president. A former travel, transport and logistics partner at McKinsey & Co, Carey joined Wizz in 2021 from easyJet, where he was chief commercial and customer officer.

In response, Wizz has announced three internal promotions. Chief operations officer Michael Delehant becomes senior chief commercial and operations officer, reporting to Jozsef Varadi, chief executive; Diarmuid O'Conghaile, managing director of Wizz Air Malta, replaces Delehant as chief operations officer; and head of operations control Mauro Peneda replaces O'Conghaile.

Varadi said: "These promotions underscore Wizz Air's steadfast commitment to promoting from within, based on performance and merit. Their leadership and contributions will continue to drive our success.

"We thank Robert for his contribution and wish him success in his future endeavours."

As at noon BST, shares in Wizz were largely unchanged at 2,058p.
