Alison FitzGerald, chief operating officer (COO) at London City Airport since September 2016, also served as co-CEO of London City Airport alongside chief financial officer Wilma Allan since January. Her appointment to CEO follows a thorough process by the Board of London City Airport, the operator said.
FitzGerald joined LCY in January 2014, as chief information officer (CIO). Since then and in her role as COO, she was responsible for leading the airport’s success in becoming the first major UK airport to fully deploy next-generation CT security scanners for its passengers, and the implementation of the world’s first major Digital Air Traffic Control Tower. FitzGerald also worked with aircraft manufacturers and airlines to enable the introduction of next-generation aircraft into the airport.
In her new role as CEO, Alison Fitzgerald’s key priorities will include continuing to grow the business by working with new and existing airlines to offer new destinations to passengers and build on London City’s punctuality, speed of service and award-winning customer experience.
Fitzgerald will sit on the Board of London City Airport and head the company’s Leadership Team, which also includes Wilma Allan, chief commercial officer Andrew Hodges and chief people officer Michael Spiers.
