Airline parts ways with COO Peter Bellew, as chair Stephen Hester takes closer charge in response to crisis
EasyJet is parting ways with its chief operating officer, after weeks of turmoil and last-minute cancellations hit the airline’s reputation for reliability and customer service.
The airline said Peter Bellew had resigned “to pursue other business opportunities” after two and a half years in the role. Bellew joined from rival Ryanair shortly before the pandemic, in a move that the Irish airline attempted to block in court.
