ANALYSIS: Just two women among the chiefs of top 100 airlines.

Flightglobal's latest survey of gender diversity in the airline industry shows that the number of female chief executives among the top 100 carriers has fallen to just two in the past 12 months: Air Europa's Maria Jose Hidalgo and VietJet Air's Nguyen Thi Phuong. Since the 2017 survey, two female chief executives have left carriers featured in the ranking. Carolyn McCall resigned from EasyJet to take up a role at UK broadcaster ITV and Thai Airways announced the retirement of Usanee Sangsingkeo from her role as acting president. McCall has been replaced by Johan Lundgren, while Sumeth Damrongchaitham has been named as Sangsingkeo's successor.
