MANGO ceo, Nico Bezuidenhout has confirmed that he is heading to Aurigny, the state-owned airline of Guernsey, where he will take over as ceo from November 1.
This has been confirmed by the airline, which, in a statement, says Nico would replace current ceo, Mark Darby, who is retiring. “Once the handover has taken place, Mark Darby will continue in an advisory capacity until his contract ends in 2021,” the airline says.
The airline says Nico and new chairman Kevin George will complete a strategic review of the airline’s air links as part of the island’s Revive and Thrive recovery strategy. “I am sure that the experience that both Kevin and Nico bring with them will help that process, which will include establishing recommendations for the future role of Aurigny as an economic enabler,” said Peter Ferbache, president of Guernsey’s States Trading Supervisory Board.
Aurigny is wholly owned by the States of Guernsey since nationalisation in 2003.
It operates passenger and freight services between the Channel Islands and the UK from its main base at Guernsey Airport. Aurigny is one of the longest serving regional airlines in the world and is the second oldest established airline in Britain after Loganair.
