Willie Walsh

Willie Walsh's Biography

Within aviation circles, William M. "Willie" Walsh is known as a miracle worker. The Dublin native took the top job at Ireland's Aer Lingus in 2001, just a month after the events of September 11 sent the airline industry into a tailspin. Most assumed he would fail. But in less than three years, Walsh brought the state-owned carrier from the brink of collapse to profitability by cutting a third of its workforce and repositioning it as a low-cost carrier.
