Florian Guillermet starts new role as EASA Executive Director from start of April
Florian Guillermet will take up his duties as Executive Director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency in April 2024.
COLOGNE – Florian Guillermet will take up his role as Executive Director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency from April 1, 2024 following his selection by the EASA Management Board on December 13, 2023.
Guillermet moves to EASA directly from France’s DSNA, where he had served as Director Air Navigation Services since June 2021. He headed the 7,000-person organisation with full accountability for the delivery of its services and the smooth running of its operations.
Guillermet brings extensive leadership experience from various organisations in the aviation sector. He has worked in aviation for 26 years, including top level management posts in France and in European Union aviation organisations.
“My ambition is to take EASA to the next level, making it a modern organisation fit for the digital age, while ensuring the highest standards of civil aviation safety and environmental protection are met across the entire aviation ecosystem,” Guillermet said. “While the Agency’s core role is as a regulator, I want to build strong relationships with stakeholders, in Europe and globally, to ensure all air travel is safe for every EU citizen.
“I look forward to channelling the undoubted expertise of EASA’s staff to achieving these goals in a positive and inclusive multicultural working environment.”
Guillermet succeeds Luc Tytgat, who had led the Agency as Acting Executive Director for the last seven months, following the departure of Patrick Ky at the expiry of his 10-year mandate. Tytgat will remain with the Agency in a senior leadership role until August, supporting Guillermet through the transition period.

Survey: Road Warriors Lead Corp. Travel Growth Expectations
After a significant increase in trips last year, corporate road warriors—as well as business travelers as a whole—largely are maintaining or increasing their volume of business travel this year, according to a study conducted by Internova Analytics and Consulting.
The 2024 Internova Index: North American Business Traveler Insights is a new segment of its annual research on North American travel, according to the travel services company, which includes Altour. The research is based on analysis of millions of travel bookings in the U.S. and Canada as well as a survey of about 3,000 travelers, and Internova segmented business travel data by executives, road warriors and occasional business travelers.
Among corporate travelers in the survey and research, 30 percent said they expect to travel more this year than last year, and 85 percent said they will travel at least same amount, according to Internova. Road warriors were slightly more likely to say they were traveling more this year than executives and occasional business travelers, and they also were the least likely to say they would travel less this year. Occasional business travelers, meanwhile, were the most likely to say they will travel less this year, according to the survey.
Road warriors had the largest growth in number of trips last year compared with 2022, according to the survey, up 26 percent, according to Internova. Executives’ average number of trips last year was up 9 percent year over year, with international trips up 30 percent and domestic trips flat. For occasional travelers, however, average trips were down 10 percent year over year in 2023, the survey showed.
