Israir CEO Sabina Biran has resigned after 6 years, and will be replaced by Israel Ben Haim
 
Israir CEO Sabina Biran has resigned after 6 years, and will be replaced by Israel Ben Haim, the former managing director ( 1996 – 2001) of Ben-Gurion International Airport.

Ben Haim resigned following an internal power struggle after it became clear to him that he would not be appointed director general of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Before that, he served two years as deputy operations manager of the CAA, where he was responsible for air traffic control and flight safety.
It is understood that Israir will be operated under two divisions: tourism, to be headed by Zohar Endelman and flights, to be headed by Ben Haim

In her farewell speech Biran thanked Israir management and employees for the support she had and for their contribution which made it possible for the company to succeed during the highly difficult years in the aviation industry.
