Announcement was made by Peter Rothwell today in a memo to staff. Maurice Boyle appointed as Airline director on the TUI board and also as MD of Thomsonfly and chairman of TUIfly Nordic.
Chris Turner to succeed Maurice on an interim basis as Operations director responsible for all pilots/cabin crew/Operations and training.
It says "Maurice has worked in the commercial aviation industry for more than 25 years and has held senior roles at Canadian Airlines,Servisair and Dan Air
He has been at the forefront of developing our partnership working arrangements with both pilots and cabin crew"
Kevin Hatton will relinquish his role as MD from 12th August.
It all sounds rather sudden to me anyway (ie notice out today/leave tomorrow!)
