Irish Flying High
Dermot Mannion, deputy chairman of Royal Brunei Airlines
Conor McCarthy, helped set up Jetstar, now heads Dublin Aerospace
Donal Rogers, ex-CEO of vivaAerobus in Mexico, still a member of the executive board
Tony Ryan, founder of Guinness Peat Aviation and Ryanair
Michael O'Leary, Ryanair CEO
Willie Walsh, International Airlines Group CEO
Alan Joyce, Qantas CEO
Charlie Clifton, ex-CEO of Tiger Airways based in Singapore, also helped run Webjet in Brazil
