Malta International Airport plc (MIA) said that effective 1st September, Austria-based Christian Schrötter has been appointed as the company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and as a member of the Board of Directors.

Mr Schrötter brings broad leadership experience, having served as Managing Director of an automotive start-up and previously as CFO of a company listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange.

“Throughout his career, Mr Schrötter has amassed extensive experience in treasury, controlling, accounting, risk management and reporting, which will be valuable assets to Malta International Airport as the company continues to grow,” a company statement had said.

The announcement follows Karl Dandler’s departure from the company last month, as he ended his 10-year tenure and entered into retirement.

VIE (Malta) Limited, a subsidiary of Vienna International Airport, holds a 10.1 per cent stake in MIA. The largest shareholding is held by Malta Mediterranean Link Consortium Limited at 40 per cent, in which VIE (Malta) holds around 96 per cent of the shares, with the remaining 4 per cent held by Bianchi Group.
