She was one of many strong candidates and I’m delighted to welcome her to the team.

I’d also like to put on record my thanks to Branka Subotic, who has done a great job during her time as Executive Director, particularly in helping to drive forward our initiative to deliver seamless Free Route Airspace across much of Northern Europe by 2021.” 

New Executive Director Gwen Morgan added: “It’s a privilege to have been offered the role and I can’t wait to get started. The Borealis Alliance is at the forefront of delivering the European Commission’s Single European Sky initiative. I’m looking forward to building on the Alliance’s success to date and working with all nine Members to ensure we make a positive contribution to both the airlines and public flying through Europe”.
