easyJet PLC on Monday said it appointed Jan De Raeymaeker as chief financial officer, succeeding Kenton Jarvis who as previously announced will become chief executive officer at the start of next year.

Prior to Lineas, he was CFO of Brussels Airlines. Chief Executive Designate Kenton Jarvis said: ‘I am delighted that Jan will be joining easyJet in January 2025.

‘Jan brings with him a deep knowledge of the transport and airline sector, which we believe will be of significant benefit to easyJet going forward, and his financial and commercial acumen will be critical as we continue to build towards the delivery of our medium term targets and our purpose of making low cost travel easy. I look forward to working closely with him.’
