Ryanair has appointed a new nonexecutive director to its board, with Roberta Neri taking up the role next month.

Ms Neri, who is former chief executive of Italian air navigation services provider ENAV, will join the board from February 1st.

An experienced executive, Ms Neri managed ENAV’s IPO process on the Italian stock exchange.
