Former Aer Lingus chief executive Stephen Kavanagh is joining the board of Irish-based Chinese-owned aircraft lessor, CDB Aviation. Mr Kavanagh stepped down as Aer Lingus chief executive last year following a 30-year career with the Irish airline, much of it spent in senior roles. These included chief strategy and planning officer, chief commercial officer and corporate planning director. While he was chief executive, Aer Lingus grew revenues by one-third to more than €2 billion. Mr Kavanagh remained on the Aer Lingus board as a non-executive director.
