Two new directors for KLM
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
AMSTELVEEN, 15 February 2011 - Camiel Eurlings and Erik Varwijk join KLM
President & CEO Peter Hartman and CFO Frédéric Gagey on the statutory managing
board of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines on 1 July 2011. The KLM Managing Board will
then consist of four statutory managing directors.
All statutory managing directors are part of the AIR FRANCE KLM GROUP Executive
Committee. The new team of directors will begin on 1 April.
President & CEO Peter Hartman: "I am proud of the new Managing Board of
Directors. We have been carrying out intensive discussions with Camiel Eurlings
since December concerning the role he might play within KLM. I am extremely
delighted by the outcome of these discussions. I am also very pleased to welcome
Erik Varwijk to the Board."
Eurlings' main responsibility will be Air France - KLM Cargo. He is taking over
this director's portfolio over from Mr Hartman. Eurlings: "I have considered
many serious offers over the last few months, but it is with complete conviction
that I have chosen KLM, the pride of our nation. KLM is vitally important to the
Dutch economy and, together with partner Air France, a major player on the world
stage. It is a company that is focused on the future, has a long Dutch tradition
and highly dedicated workforce. My responsibility for Cargo returns me to my
original discipline as a logistical engineer. It is an extremely interesting job
which will also enable me to better plan my private life."
Michael Wisbrun, Executive Vice President KLM Cargo and chair of the Joint Cargo
Committee Air France KLM Martinair, has been proposed for a new AIR FRANCE KLM
position. An announcement will follow in due course. "I have led KLM Cargo with
great pleasure for almost twelve years and am looking forward to working with
Eurlings over the coming months." Wisbrun will handover his membership of the
AIR FRANCE KLM Group Executive Committee.
Erik Varwijk has worked for KLM since 1989 and for the time being remains
Executive Vice President Commercial Passenger Business. As a director he will
retain his current responsibilities, both within AIR FRANCE KLM and KLM. "I am
delighted to be able to take this step," Mr Varwijk said. "KLM is taking an
important step in anchoring this part of our business to the Board of Directors
is an important development for KLM."
The proposed appointments of Camiel Eurlings and Erik Varwijk will be presented
for approval at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 1 July 2011. The
Works Council is being consulted on the appointments.
