Johan Eckerstein new CEO of Norrlandsflyg

On March 1st, Johan Eckerstein was appointed new CEO for the large Swedish helicopter operator Norrlandsflyg AB.

Johan succeeds Fredrik Skanselid, who has decided to leave his role as CEO due to a recent change in ownership of the company. Norrlandsflyg states that Fredrik Skanselid will maintain his position as Accountable Manager in the company for some time, but that he will resign later on this spring.

Johan Eckerstein comes from the IT-company myJoice AB, where he was CEO. “I consider it just as much fun as it is exciting to take over the responsibility for Norrlandsflyg", says Johan Eckerstein. “The company has got a good operation and a well-run organization now, and we are facing a number of challenges in which I hope and believe that my coworkers and me will find a path to continued success.“
