Marion Geoffroy has been appointed the new Managing Director of Wizz Air UK. She comes with more than a decade of experience in the aviation industry, having joined Wizz Air in 2015 as head of legal and general counsel before being appointed Chief Corporate Officer in 2018.
Prior to joining Wizz Air, Geoffroy held senior leadership roles in the legal department of Air France-KLM and served as general counsel at Verlingue Insurance Brokers.
The latest appointment comes at an exciting time for Wizz Air, following the launch of over 65 UK routes in the past year and opening of two new bases at Gatwick and Doncaster Sheffield, with its fourth base at Cardiff Airport due to launch in summer 2022.
Speaking on her appointment Marion Geoffroy said there is no doubt the past year has been challenging for the industry, but Wizz has remained focused on nimbly adjusting to changing travel restrictions, quickly rebuilding capacity to meet demand, and taking advantage of new market opportunities.
She mentioned that looking ahead, the airline can see there is a huge appetite for travel and the booking trends are very encouraging, which is why the company is planning to hire more than 120 cabin crew members and pilots in the UK by December, so that the carrier can bring all UK aircraft back into service by the end of the year.
