Lord Adonis Appoints New Members To Civil Aviation Authority
The Secretary of State for Transport, Lord Adonis, has today appointed David Gray and Michael Medlicott as Non-Executive Members of the Board of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
David Gray has a background in investment banking and developed particular expertise in economic regulation when serving as Managing Director, Networks at OFGEM. He has recently been a member of the panel of experts advising the Department of Transport on the economic regulation of airports. He holds no other Ministerial public appointments.
David Gray’s appointment comes into effect on 16 November 2009 for a period of three years. He will work two days a week at the CAA until the end of March 2010 at a salary of approximately £44,000 pa. This will then reduce to one day a week with a pro rata reduction in salary.
Michael Medlicott has many years’ experience in the tourism and transport sectors, including a senior management position at Delta Air Lines. He has sat on the Board of the Manchester Airports Group since 2002, although his term there will end before he joins the CAA. He holds one current Ministerial appointment as a Non-Executive Director of National Savings & Investments, for which he receives a salary of £15,000 per annum.
Michael Medlicott’s appointment will come into effect on 1 February 2010 for a period of three years. He will work one day a week at a salary of approximately £22,000 pa.
The Secretary of State has also reappointed a further Non-Executive Director of the CAA, Captain Roger Whitefield, for a second term which will run for three years from 1 April 2010. His time commitment at the CAA will reduce from two days a week to one at that time. Captain Whitefield, who specialises in safety regulation, was originally appointed in 2005.
