The acting CEO of LIAT Airline, Brian Challenger, has resigned.

Challenger will spend his last day on the job on June 30.

LIAT’s chairman, Jean Holder, says Challenger has made an important contribution to the airline during a difficult period.

No reason was offered for Challenger’s decision to quit.

LIAT says Julie Reifer-Jones, its chief Financial Officer, will act as CEO in the interim.

The airline also says active steps are in place to fill the post of CEO as soon as possible.
