EasyJet's chief operating officer has resigned after a series of flight cancellations and disruption at the airline in recent weeks.
The airline said Peter Bellew had left "to pursue other business opportunities" and wished him well.
The BBC says it comes after thousands of easyJet flights have been cancelled - some at short notice.
The company flies from Aberdeen to Manchester, Luton and Gatwick.
Trade union Unite last month criticised a "lack of leadership" at the airline and urged Mr Bellew to "take control".
Announcing Mr Bellew's resignation, easyJet chief executive Johan Lundgren said the airline was "absolutely focused on delivering a safe and reliable operation this summer".
He said the role of interim chief operating officer would be in the "very capable hands of" David Morgan "who will provide strong leadership for the airline this summer".
Mr Morgan has been with easyJet since 2016 and is currently director of flight operations. He had previously led overall operations at the airline, as interim chief operating officer in 2019.
Rebound in demand
The aviation sector shed thousands of jobs during the pandemic, but the BBC says it is now struggling to meet the rebound in demand for travel.
EasyJet has been one of the worst hit for cancellations in recent months. It has axed thousands of flights, including many on the day they were due to depart.
Late last month it said it would be making some cancellations over the summer, to build in more resilience and in response to caps imposed by London Gatwick and Amsterdam Schiphol airports.
It said this gave customers advance notice and potential to re-book.
EasyJet has also said it would not be announcing any further cancellations this week.
It is understood just over 150,000 of the 160,000 easyJet flights initially scheduled to run over July, August and September, will go ahead. This means roughly 10,000 have been cancelled - or about 6%.
Meanwhile, unions representing easyJet cabin crew in Spain have called a series of 24-hour strikes for July in a dispute over pay.
