New divisional CEO appointed at Stansted
MAG chief strategy officer Andrew Cowan has been appointed divisional CEO of Stansted.
At the same time, Andrew Harrison, who has led Stansted since MAG bought the airport in March 2013, will become MAG chief strategy officer, based in Manchester.
In his new role, Harrison will head up a new function tasked with defining MAG’s digital strategy and e-commerce business model.
Announcing the appointments, MAG CEO Charlie Cornish said: "Since MAG acquired London Stansted, Andrew Harrison has done a fantastic job of driving growth at the airport and integrating it into the wider Group.
"Andrew Cowan is hugely experienced and I am confident that he will continue to build on the great foundations that exist at Stansted.
"The airport has even greater potential and there is a clear and pressing need to improve its rail links in order to enable it to take the strain as other London airports reach capacity and before any new runway can be built in the south east."
