Air NZ boss looking to move on

31 JAN: Air NZ ceo Rob Fyfe has announced  his resignation, effective late next year, following an earlier Fairfax NZ report today. Fairfax said he would announce his departure ahead of the release of half-year financial results on 28 February, sparking a formal announcement by the carrier to the sharemarket.

Fairfax said it's rumoured that he will accept a position with either British Airways or Virgin Atlantic. There's no immediate comment on that.

Mr Fyfe, current chairman of the Star Alliance, took over the helm of Air NZ in 2005 and is widely credited with turning around the fortunes of an airline bailed out by the taxpayer in 2001 after the Ansett debacle.

The NZ government owns 74%, but has flagged plans to reduce that to about 55% next year.
