Hogan Rises High in CEO's Estimation

The man who almost ran Ansett, James Hogan, seems to have found a boss with deeper pockets than one-time Tesna saviours Solomon Lew and Lindsay Fox. And, in a neat turn of events, it's an employer who is happy to credit Hogan for his "almost" effort.

In a press release to announce Hogan as the new president and CEO of Gulf Air, the airline's chairman, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, gave his tenuous tenure at Ansett a little more wings than it had. "Prior to this engagement he was the chief executive officer of Ansett Airlines in Australia and BMI British Midlands Airways, UK," it stated.

Hogan was appointed by Lew and Fox in January to run a relaunched Ansett before the Melbourne millionaires bailed out in February.

Having left his post as chief operating officer at British Midlands last August after a fall-out with chairman Sir Michael Bishop, Hogan will be hoping for clearer skies at Gulf Air.
