Air New Zealand CEO reduces executive team

Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran reduced (22-May-2020) the airline's executive team from nine to six people, as the airline adapts to a much smaller scale due to coronavirus. Details include:

• Chief strategy networks and alliances offier Nick Judd will depart the airline on 31-May-2020;
• Chief air operations and people safety officer John Whittaker will depart on 31-Jul-2020;
• Chief marketing and customer officer Mike Tod will step away from the airline full time on 31-May-2020 and provide advisory support to the CEO and board during the business transformation phase.

Mr Foran said the portfolios of the three departing executives will be absorbed by the remaining members of the executive team. [more - original PR]
