President Robert Caley has leftovers Wizz Air, to pursue other interests, making room for three promotions, the low-cost he announced on Wednesday. Jozsef Varadi remains the CEO.

Chief operations officer Michael Delehant will become the senior chief commercial and operations officer, while Diarmuid O’Conghaile, CEO of Wizz Air Malta, will become chief operating officer.

Mauro Peneda will succeed O’Conghaile at the helm of Wizz Air Malta.

The changes in executives come ahead of the busiest time of the year, when airlines prepare for peak passenger traffic.
