Replacement – Pernsteiner moves into the airport’s supervisory board

The General Director of Casinos Austria, Bettina Glatz-Kremsner, is resigning from the chairmanship of the Supervisory Board of Flughafen Wien AG. This emerges from the proposed resolutions for the general meeting on September 4th, about which the “Kurier” reported on Wednesday.

The supervisory board members Werner Kerschl and Robert Lasshofer must also be filled. Lasshofer will retire as head of Wiener Städtische Versicherung at the end of the year and will also step down from the airport’s supervisory board. His successor, both at the airport and in the insurance industry, will be Ralph Müller. The largest airport shareholder, the Australian pension fund IFM, which holds just under 40 percent, is replacing Kerschl with Boris Benjamin Schucht, CEO of the British nuclear energy company Urenco.

Instead of Glatz-Kremsner, Manfred Pernsteiner, office manager of ÖVP governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner, joins the control committee. The states of Lower Austria and Vienna each hold 20 percent of the listed airport and, according to a syndicate agreement and the statutes, can each send two representatives to the supervisory board. The second representative of Lower Austria is ex-banker Susanne Höllinger, also a member of the supervisory board of the state holding company ÖBAG. According to the newspaper report, she is to be elected as the new chairman of the supervisory board at the airport after the general meeting.

The airport does not have to meet the statutory quota for women on the supervisory board because it employs less than 20 percent women.
