Eric Vincent is to start "immediately" as managing director of ASL Airlines France, according to a statement by Dublin-based parent company ASL Aviation Holdings.
The "excellent appointment", said ASL Aviation Holdings chief executive Dave Andrew, will see Vincent, who was director of sales and programme at the airline, deploy "his many talents and his own flair and fresh thinking" in his new role.
Vincent said he was excited by the challenge of leading an airline while the industry fights to recover from "the devastation caused by the COVID pandemic”.
The announcement came hot on the heels of the airline's chief executive Jean-François Dominiak saying he would retire this month.
