BRUSSELS — Brussels Airlines has a new interim CEO following the resignation of Peter Gerber.

The carrier announced Gerber’s resignation yesterday. Christina Foerster has been appointed ad-interim CEO. Foerster is a member of the Lufthansa Group Executive Board. Foerster also served as Brussels Airline’s Chief Commercial Officer from 2016, and as CEO between 2018 and 2020.
