Portal has appointed Simon Tucker as chief financial officer.
Tucker joins chief
executive officer Giovanni Bisignani and marketing director Nicolas De Santis
at the pan-European travel portal, which is backed by nine shareholder
airlines.
Previous roles
have seen Tucker help launch Internet travel agency Dreamticket.com last year,
which collapsed on February 7 due to a lack of investment, and working at
director level with Thomas Cook and Hertz.
The travel portal,
which is yet to be officially launched and named, will sell travel and
travel-related products on the Internet and is backed by BA, Aer Lingus, Air
France, Alitalia, Austrian airlines, Finnair, Iberia, KLM and Lufthansa.
