Granville bows out
p. 91 · Read in the full issue
Sir Keith Granville, deputy chairman of British Airways and former chairman of BO AC is to leave the airline after 45 years’ service.
Of his decision Sir Keith said: Forty-five years’ service is probably long enough. Although my appointment as deputy chairman of British Airways does not expire until the end of 1975 this seems the right moment for me to leave the airline to others, many of whom have enormous airline experience which may be put to fuller use.”
He said the formation of British Airways through the merger of BOAC and BEA—“which I have always supported and long advo cated”—had made such good progress that the final legal stages would be completed by April 1.
In tribute to* Sir Keith, British Airways Chairman, Mr David Nicholson, said: “His qualities have earned him world-wide respect and affection throughout our industry. For the past two years they have played an invaluable part in the creation of British Airways.”
