(Reuters) – International Airlines Group (IAG) (ICAG.L) said on Thursday that Aer Lingus chief executive Stephen Kavanagh will step down on Jan. 1, 2019 and will be succeeded by Sean Doyle, a British Airways director.
Kavanagh, who will remain with Aer Lingus as a non-executive director, is stepping down to pursue other interests, after a career that spanned over three decades at the Irish airline, with the last four in the top job.
IAG Chief Executive Willie Walsh credited Kavanagh with modernizing Aer Lingus, the flag carrier of Ireland founded by the government in 1936.
Doyle, who hails from Cork, Ireland, is also the director of network, fleet and alliances at IAG-owned British Airways.
IAG also said Mike Rutter, chief operating officer of Aer Lingus, has extended his contract with the airline.

Boeing 247 parked in front of the Museum of Flight is the Friday Pic of the Week. The Boeing 247 was known as the the first modern aircraft to include several new advancements in aircraft manufacturing. These advances included all-anodized aluminum construction, an auto pilot, cantilevered wing, control surface trim tabs, de-icing boots, and retractable landing gear. Boeing would go on to build seventy-five 247 aircraft, most seeing service with Boeing Air Transport. The plane would be rendered obsolete in just a few years by the Douglas DC-3.
