Centralwings president steps down as losses mount

"According to the business plan, the loss was to amount to zł.42 million. The report for the year 2005 showed zł.59 million in the red," said Leszek Chorzewski, spokesman of LOT, which owns 100% of Centralwings. According to the plans, the budget airline should break even in 2008. "The group is to cooperate and not fight against each other," stressed Chorzewski. The new chairman of the no-frills airline should be appointed no sooner than the appointment of the president of LOT. "This order is rational and will allow coherent management of LOT group to be maintained," said Jerzy Adamski, secretary of the LOT supervisory board. The appointment of LOT's president is expected no sooner than the end of March. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) M.M.
