LONDON, April 16 (Reuters) - The founder and biggest
shareholder of easyJet said he would call for the
removal of the low cost airline's chief executive and chairman
in an escalation of his long-simmering row with management.
Stelios Haji-Ioannou said he would call at a forthcoming
meeting for the removal of CEO Johan Lundgren for sending money
to Airbus for planes while running an "aircraft parking lot" and
the chairman, John Barton, for failing to investigate easyJet's
deal with Airbus.
He said in a statement that if he succeeded he would expect
the rest of the directors to appoint the COO to run the company.
