The Malaysian government’s sovereign wealth fund, Khazanah Nasional Berhad, has picked Aer Lingus CEO Christoph Mueller to lead the restructured and privatized Malaysia Airlines. Mueller’s contract with Aer Lingus ends on May 1 next year, but Khazanah hopes to install the German national as CEO by as early as March 1. It expects to complete the privatization of the company by July 1.
