Etihad Airways' James Hogan has been named chief executive of Etihad Aviation Group, an umbrella company created to contain Etihad's growing interests, the chairman Mohamed Al Mazrouei said on Sunday.
“This has been driven by the formation of new companies, including Etihad Airways Engineering, Etihad Global Cargo Management Company, the Global Loyalty Company, Hala Abu Dhabi, and Etihad Airport Services,” Mr Al Mazrouei said.
“The acquisition of minority equity stakes in Alitalia, airberlin, Air Serbia, Air Seychelles, Etihad Regional operated by Darwin Airline, Jet Airways and Virgin Australia, has also necessitated the need for a dedicated team to manage our shareholding, and the delivery of wide-ranging synergies that are beneficial to all parties,” he added.
Mr Hogan, who has been chief executive of Etihad for the past decade, will be chief executive of Etihad Aviation Group, an umbrella company formally established in 2014, that will oversee a number of new companies to reflect the growing diversity of Etihad’s activities.
Peter Baumgartner, who has been with the company since 2005, takes over as chief executive of the airline.
Bruno Matheu will be chief executive of Airline Equity Partners, which Mr Al Mazrouei said delivered US$1.4 billion in revenue and 5 million passengers to Etihad last year. Mr Matheu has been chief operating officer of this unit since 2014.
Jeff Wilkinson is named chief executive of Etihad Airways Engineering, which undertakes aircraft maintenance for Etihad as well as third party carriers.
Hala Group, the hospitality arm, has yet to name a chief executive.
“Etihad Airways is no longer a stand-alone business,” Mr Hogan said. “The new management structure will enable us to maximise opportunities for growth, revenue generation and cost control on a much bigger scale.”
Also on the Etihad Aviation Group executive management team will be James Rigney as chief financial officer, Kevin Knight as strategy and planning chief, Ray Gammell as chief of people and performance, and Robert Webb as chief of information and technology.
Etihad Aviation Group will have about 27,000 employees, with just over 20,000 working for Etihad Airways.

Key findings of Jenkins report
- Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
- Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
- Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
- Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."

How the bonus system works
The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.
The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.
There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).
All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
