A good man stands down at Royal Jordanian

I logged on tonight to find the shocking news that Royal Jordanian chief executive Samer Majali has resigned from the carrier.

Flightglobal's David Kaminski has everything we know about the story here.

We'll drop Samer a line to find out why he's decided to call it a day from an airline he has led with great dignity and skill. Samer is one of the industry's good men - a real gentleman.

I doubt this is the last we will hear of Samer. He is a high-profile airline industry CEO and recently chaired the IATA annual meeting in Kuala Lumpur.

Good luck my friend, whatever and wherever you go.

Read our cover interview with Samer last year after he'd successfully steered the carrier through privatisation and into oneworld.
