Christophe Mueller's appointment at Emirates is significant for a number of reasons. Many would consider this a step down from his previous roles. T2RL do not see this as such. Mueller has always demonstrated ambition with respect to technology transformation. He has been open to innovation especially with respect to new solutions for PSS. At Aer Lingus in particular he was willing to think outside the box and consider alternatives, including partnerships, asset purchases and external funding sources. He was also at Malaysia Airlines when they made the decision to move to Amadeus and remain mainstream. T2RL see Emirates as the perfect place for him to transform the systems and processes of one of the most significant and important airlines in the World. Emirates will have have a recognised business leader to help them execute on, or possibly less likely revise and revisit the strategy if they can not achieve their goals.
