Richard Moriarty, chief executive of the Civil Aviation Authority, will step down in spring next year, the CAA has announced. 

Richard Moriarty, chief executive of the CAA, said: “The UK will continue to lead the way in supporting pilots living with HIV to fly safely and pursue their careers and dreams."

Moriarty who has worked for the organisation for more than ten years, including five at the helm, said he was leaving to begin “the next chapter” of his career in the private sector and deepening his work in charity and social housing.

“I am confident [the CAA] will continue to do so given the strength of talent and leadership within the organisation and the commitment of its people,” he said.

CAA chair Sir Stephen Hillier thanked Moriarty for his “outstanding leadership, hard work and dedication… through one of the most challenging times in our recent history”.
