The Etihad Aviation Group Board of Directors has announced that James Hogan will step down as President and CEO of the company in the second half of 2017. The Board and Hogan first initiated the transition process in 2016 with the formation in May of the Etihad Aviation Group, a diversified global aviation and travel organisation.
Commenting on Hogan’s time at Etihad, H.E. Mohamed Mubarak Fadhel Al Mazrouei, Chairman, Board of the Etihad Aviation Group, said, “We are very grateful to James. In just ten years, he has overseen the growth of the company from a 22 plane regional carrier into a 120 aircraft global airline and aviation group, with seven airline equity partnerships which together serve more than 120 million guests every year.”
James Hogan commented, “Along with the Board and my 26,000 colleagues, I am very proud of what we have built together at Etihad and of the company’s substantial contribution to the UAE and to the development of Abu Dhabi. The last decade has seen incredible results but this only represents a first chapter in the story of Etihad.”
Commenting on current priorities for the business, H.E. Mazrouei said, “To position the company for continued success in a challenging market, the Board and management team will continue an ongoing, company-wide strategic review. We must ensure that the airline is the right size and the right shape.”
Hogan will join an investment company along with Etihad Aviation Group CFO James Rigney, who will also leave the company later in 2017. A global search for a new Group CEO and a new Group CFO is already underway.
