United Airlines, the world’s third-largest airline, announced late Thursday night that current CEO Oscar Munoz will transition to the role of executive chairman of the board of directors.
Current United president Scott Kirby will take his place, stepping into the chief executive role by May 2020, according to a statement from the airline.
Munoz, who had been with the airline since 2015, saw United through a crisis when a video of a traveler being forcibly removed from a United flight after refusing to give up his seat went viral in April 2017.
