Thomas Woldbye, CEO of Copenhagen Airport, will lead Western Europe’s busiest airport, Heathrow, later this year.
Last year, Heathrow reclaimed its position as Western Europe’s busiest airport after the COVID-19 pandemic.
In recent months, British airport workers have struck for pay. After accepting an improved compensation offer, more than 2,000 airport security workers called off 31 days of summer strikes last week.
On Friday, Copenhagen Airports announced that Woldbye would stand down as CEO after 12 years on Sept. 30.
“In his time as CEO, he has led the airport ambitiously through its growth period with passenger levels rising to record levels from 20 to 30 million in 8 years,” Copenhagen Airports A/S Chairman Lars Nørby Johansen remarked. “With a steady hand he has guided us through the troubling Covid pandemic.”
Ferrovial, Qatar Investment Authority, and other investors own Heathrow.
Holland-Kaye will leave as CEO later this year.
