The Dublin Airport Authority has appointed deputy chief executive Oliver Cussen as interim chief executive until it appoints a successor to Declan Collier, who left the State-owned company recently to run London City Airport.
Mr Cussen’s appointment is expected to be announced today by the State-owned airport manager. It could be some months before a replacement chief executive for the DAA is appointed by the Government.
Mr Cussen joined the DAA in 1998 as director of corporate development from the Department of Education and Science, where he was an assistant secretary.
He was acting chief executive of the DAA in 2004-2005 before Mr Collier took the reins.
