Bremen Airport has had a second managing director in Marc Cezanne since Tuesday. The manager stands by Elmar Kleinert's side and most recently worked in Paderborn/Lippstadt.

"I am very pleased that we have Dr. Marc Cezanne as managing director for our airport to support the further implementation of the renovation concept. The importance of the airport for Bremen and the region, for the companies based here and for the economy is enormous. Elmar Kleinert has already done important work in an extremely difficult phase for the airport in recent years, initiated and implemented many projects and set the course for the airport in many areas for a good position in the future," says State Councilor Tim Cordßen-Ryglewski, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Flughafen Bremen GmbH.

Elmar Kleinert and Marc Cezanne will initially form a dual leadership for the airport. The previous managing director Elmar Kleinert will leave the company at the beginning of next year – at his own request. In the near future, Elmar Kleinert will successively hand over to Marc Cezanne. "The time in Bremen was and is a very special time for me," says Elmar Kleinert. “I had the privilege of being part of an excellent team at the airport and was able to contribute a great deal to the restructuring process and also achieve many milestones. I am certain that Marc Cezanne will take my place to everyone's satisfaction and will continue on the path already laid out to successfully modernize Bremen Airport."

Marc Cezanne: “I am really looking forward to this interesting and challenging task. The rebound in air traffic and the increasing importance of sustainability and climate protection also open up positive future prospects for Bremen Airport in the post-pandemic phase. The aviation industry is undergoing a major transformation that offers many opportunities for the companies willing to change and adapt. I will be very happy to be part of these changes at Bremen Airport.”
