In April 2016, CEO Christoph Mueller resigned from his post after less than a year of leading the carrier's reorganising efforts, citing changing personal circumstances. Mueller initially planned to continue to serve as CEO until September 2016 and stay on the airline's board as a non-executive director to oversee the transition to a new CEO. It was subsequently announced that Peter Bellew has taken over Mueller as the new chief with effect from 1 July 2016, effectively cutting Mueller's tenure by a further two months.
