Nikolaus Gretzmacher has been appointed chairman of Malta International Airport following the resignation of Michael Hoeferer, the airport said this morning.
Mr Hoeferer resigned following a change in his functions as an executive of Vienna International Airport which would not allow him to dedicate the time required by the chairmanship of the company. He is retaining his directorship on the board
Mr Gretzmacher is also a company director.
He was born in 1975 and graduated in economics from the University of Vienna. He joined the business development team in Vienna International Airport in 2003.
Three years later, he was appointed head of strategic planning and shareholdings management.
In October 2011 he returned to Vienna Airport as senior vice president operations.
