Caribbean Airlines has named Michael DiLollo as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer.

DiLollo succeeds former Acting CEO Robert Corbie, who resigned from the company in June 2013.

He is a former president of the Transat Tours arm of Canadian travel giant Transat, where he served until 2011.

“Caribbean Airlines has already started a route analysis process to identify what is working, what isn’t working, where are the opportunities and most of all, how can we leverage the gauge of aircraft that we have,” he said at an introductory press conference in Port of Spain.

Caribbean Airlines is the second top-level appointment for a regional airline in recent months, following the introduction of David Evans as LIAT’s CEO in April.
