27 April 2020: Wilken Bormann will be stepping down from the position of CEO of Lufthansa Airlines' Munich hub to be replaced by Ola Hansson. He will take up the responsibility of commercial management, station management, ground infrastructure and the operational processes in the cockpit, in the cabin and on the ground at the Munich hub. Hansson is currently the CEO and Managing Director Operations Lufthansa Aviation Training
Hansson has done his two-year training as a lieutenant in the Swedish Navy and his Master of Technology studies. He has also worked as a pilot for Scandinavian Airlines for three years until 1992.
In 1992 he joined Swissair as Senior First Officer. He held a number of management positions in SWISS International Airlines' flight operations until 2017. Most recently, the captain was responsible for the entry-into-service of the airline's Boeing 777 fleet. In August 2017 Ola Hansson moved to the Management Board of Lufthansa Aviation Training in Munich. At the same time, he continues to hold his commercial pilot's license on regular flight assignments with SWISS.
While on the other hand, Bormann will assume responsibility for Lufthansa Group Finance. This includes the areas of accounting and balance sheets, taxes and corporate finance. The current, exceptional situation of the Lufthansa Group in the wake of the Corona crisis makes it necessary for Wilken Bormann to focus his entire attention on these issues.
