The commercial director of EasyJet Switzerland, Philippe Vignon, announced today on the swiss tv show "mise au point" that he will leave EasyJet by october 2007. The interview is in french only, and was about the enviromental impact of airlines, and potential new european taxes. M. Vignon gave clear and smart answers, and in the end, when the journalist asked him if he would still say the same things in ten years, his answer was something like "In principle yes, but I won't work for EasyJet anymore."

Even the journalist was surprised ! Philippe Vignon then explained that he will leave the company by mid-october.

Philippe Vignon has been part of EasyJet Switzerland from its very beginning, approximately ten years ago. He became publicly known, and became quite a reference for swiss-french media about aviation and EasyJet.

He appeared periodically on TV in the news, and even in a pseudo-trial, where he defended the company in a case of problems with mass reservation.
