The boss of Stansted Airport is replacing Clare James as managing director of East Midlands Airport.
Manchester Airports Group (MAG) – which owns and operates both airports – is bringing in Steve Griffiths to take over the running of the Castle Donington airport on the Leicestershire/Derbyshire border as part of a management restructuring. The group is understood to be in talks with Ms James about giving her another position within the business.
The new managing director of Stansted will be Gareth Powell, who has spent 19 years at Transport for London, most recently as deputy commissioner and chief customer and strategy officer. The changes are expected to take place later this month.
