Christine Ourmières-Widener will leave the airline in July this year

Exeter, Devon, UK: Flybe Limited has today announced that Christine Ourmières-Widener has decided to step down from her role as Chief Executive Officer of Flybe Limited on 15th July 2019 following the successful sale of the business to Connect Airways.

The Board of Directors thanks Christine for her leadership and her many achievements and, in particular, her stewardship of the business during a difficult time leading to the sale of the airline.  

“It has been a privilege to lead Flybe over the past two years and to work with such an outstanding and dedicated team of professionals,” said Christine Ourmières-Widener. “Together, we have been able to secure the jobs of our loyal Flybe employees with the sale to Connect Airways and provide our customers and the UK with the vital transport and travel infrastructure they rely on, while preparing Flybe for a bright future under its new ownership.”
