BA boss for Aviation Club lunch

Tom Stoddart is Chief Operating Officer of both CityFlyer based at London City Airport (LCY) and EuroFlyer, whose home airport is Gatwick (LGW). 

He has accepted a speaking invitation for the Aviation Club on Tuesday 12 September at the Royal Overseas League, Park Place, St James, London.

CityFlyer operates 24 Embraer E195 aircraft, whilst EuroFlyer has a fleet of 19 Airbus 320 series.  Both airlines have their own Air Operators Certificate.

Tom Stoddart has been Managing Director of BA CityFlyer since 2018, overseeing its continued expansion, and guiding both carriers through the most difficult two years in the history of commercial aviation.  As with Willie Walsh, now Director General of International Air Transport Association (IATA), he is an Oxford Air Training School graduate, having joined British Airways 22 years ago.  His pilot’s licence is still current on the A320 series, but not so for the Embraer.  “I just don’t have the time,” he said.  “It’s a nice idea but will not happen.”

Both airports are topical.  Stoddart, a keen soccer fan, will have noted the heavy defeat for LCY and its planning application, whilst with LGW it too will have to go to extra time.
