   bring us  extensive airline  and travel  industry experience,  with  extra
   focus on operations and logistics, customer experience, digital and  data.
   This, combined with  their European  outlook will  further strengthen  the
   Board. We very much look forward to them joining us."

   for his contribution during his tenure and wish him well for the future. I
