Ryanair chief marketing officer Kenny Jacobs, who was responsible for the Irish low-cost carrier’s comprehensive customer service overhaul and revamping its website, has resigned, marking Ryanair’s second senior management departure in recent months. The company’s COO, Peter Bellew, left the airline at the end of 2019 to join easyJet, although Ryanair is attempting to halt the move in court. The Irish High Court late last year rejected Ryanair’s application for an injunction to restrain its former COO from switching to its UK-based competitor for a period of at least 12 months, but Ryanair has appealed the ruling.
