Aberdeen International Airport has appointed Steve Szalay as its new managing director.
Mr Szalay will work closely with Derek Provan, chief executive of Aberdeen’s parent company AGS. The appointment comes after Carol Benzie stood down as managing director earlier this year.
A graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Mr Szalay has held a series of senior executive roles in the aviation sector including with UK airline Jet2.com, and across a number of airports including Heathrow and Gatwick.
He will take up his position at Aberdeen, currently in the final phase of a £20 million revamp, on Tuesday, November 13.
AGS Airports Limited is jointly held by Ferrovial - via Faero UK Limited - and AGS Airports International Sarl, a Luxembourg company that is majority owned by Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 4.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
