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.
