Air Malta seeks chief executive from foreign pastures

In an unprecedented move, the national Airline Air Malta is advertising the vacancy of Chief Executive Officer.

The advert has appeared in the 8 September The Economist. The job calls for managing the airline on a daily basis, implementation of a business strategy, ensuring cutting edge customer service and achieving strategy and vision for the airline.

The chief executive is being offered a wage which is commensurate with a position of this profile and though no figures are given it is normal that such a salary is not less than Lm100,000 a year.

The chief executive is not expected to replace the Chairman who presently is Mr Louis Grech, but his or her arrival will surely re-dimension the role of the Chairman and the board as a whole.
