Being reported in the news today ... what do we know about him and fit with VS?

See here for example.

Craig was a joy to work with/for at LHR for the time he was here. I'm sure he'll do well at VS.

Oh wow now let the AA/VS tie up rumors begin!   

Given the new Delta dynamic now at Virgin Atlantic why not get an executive that knowns AA from the inside. Good call !!!

In 2010 Craig Kreeger was Senior Vice President International at American Airlines. As such he made a presentation, "Delivering a More Attractive Offer for Our Customers" at the British Airways Investors' Day Meeting on 21 May of that year.

His presentation suggests that he had a significant and very senior hands-on role in the planning and implementation of the AA/BA/IB ATI. i guess this would make him a real catch for VS and, indirectly, DL because of his knowledge of the implementation of ATI and, indeed, the future AA/IAG plans.

And now confirmed... http://news.sky.com/story/1034953/vi...ntic-confirms-craig-kreeger-as-ceo

AA too has issued a press release thanking Craig for his service. Sounds like a really valued professional for both airlines.

Congratulations to VS for recruiting a sharp executive from a US legacy airline to innovate itself into a formidable 21st century global competitor.
