Ryanair Holdings plc has announced the appointment of Anne Nolan as a NED, with immediate effect.
As well as being a former chair of the IAA (from 2010 to 2018), Nolan previously served as chief executive of the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association.

Stan McCarthy, Ryanair’s chair, said: “I am pleased to welcome Anne Nolan to the board as Ryanair’s newest NED. Anne brings considerable aviation, business and regulatory experience to the role. We all look forward to working with her over the coming years to achieve Ryanair’s ambitious growth and environmental goals.”
Ryanair Holdings—which is the parent company of Ryanair, Buzz, Lauda and Malta Air—has also confirmed that agreement has been reached with the group’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, to extend his contract from July 2024 to July 2028.
