Year-end target: Bellew expects to get the final approval from Khazanah by the end of this year.
DUBLIN: Former CEO of Malaysia Airlines Peter Bellew, now with Ryanair, conceded Ryanair pilots have lost confidence in the airlines, a report said.
In October Ryanair hired back its former director of flight operations, Peter Bellew, after just over a year as CEO at Malaysia Airlines, to lead a "significant transformation in the way we reward and interact with our pilots."
In a meeting with pilots in London in mid-December, Bellew conceded the airline had lost pilots' trust, according to a recording of the meeting reported in Irish media on Tuesday and heard by Reuters.
The airline's administrative staff appeared determined to give pilots a hard time, he said.
"With the anger there is around the place, if we don't manage to turn that around, we're going to lose more people, so we need to change that," Bellew said.
Ryanair and Bellew declined to comment on the recording.
