easyJet Appoints New Chief Executive - Interview With Carolyn McCall

LONDON, March 24, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Low-cost airline easyJet today announced the appointment of Carolyn McCall as CEO. McCall joins from UK newspaper publisher Guardian Media Group.

In a video interview with online business broadcaster http://www.cantos.com, McCall said the skills learned at the helm of GMG would stand her in good stead at the airline.

"The media is about people - it's a people business. It is very customer-focused, and yet we've had to take a lot of costs out in response to structural and cyclical change. So I think the skills and capabilities that I've gained over the last 20 years are immediately transferable to easyJet."

The interview and transcript are available now on http://www.cantos.com/company/easyJet.
