Flybe Group PLC announced the appointment of a new non-executive director, and senior operational management appointments, as the Group continues to build on the successful progress of its turnaround and growth plan, following the raising of £150 million from its recent capital raise. The Group is delighted to welcome Sir Timothy (Timo) Anderson to the board as non-executive director with effect from May 1, 2014.  As an Air Marshal, Timo established the Military Aviation Authority becoming its first Director General from 2010 to 2013, and before that was Assistant Chief of Royal Air Force Air Staff. Timo will join the safety and security review committee, and will chair that committee.

He will also serve on the nomination, remuneration and audit committees. Alan Smith has announced that, after nearly 9 years on the board, he will retire as a non-executive director on August 31, 2014.
