Dr. Andreas Bierwirth to become Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) from 1 April 2008
Dr. Peter Malanik to become Chief Operations Officer (COO) from 1 January 2008
At today's ordinary Supervisory Board meeting of Austrian Airlines AG, the proposal of the Nomination Committee was accepted when the Supervisory Board appointed Dr. Peter Malanik as Chief Operations Officer (COO) with effect from 1 January 2008, and Dr. Andreas Bierwirth as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) from 1 April 2008.
The President of the Supervisory Board, Dr. Peter Michaelis, made the following statement on the decision: "Having implemented a rapid and professional application and selection procedure, we can present two top managers with wide- ranging experience in the field and international backgrounds. Dr. Bierwirth and Dr. Malanik convinced us impressively that they would implement future- oriented and targeted strategies in their respective scopes of responsibility. For me, the appointment of one internal and one external candidate provides the ideal mix of continuity and fresh thinking needed. I am convinced that the four- member Board of Management in its new form will be better equipped to meet the challenges of the industry and lead an independent Austrian Airlines into a successful future."
