Executive team reduction at Air New Zealand in wake of COVID-19

Air New Zealand CEO, Greg Foran, has reduced the size of his Executive team as a result of the impact on the airline of COVI-19.

“As we have done in all parts of our business, we are creating the structure that is appropriate for an airline which we expect will take two years to get back to 70 percent of its former size. On that basis I have reduced the size of the Executive team from nine to six,” Mr Foran says.

Chief Strategy Networks and Alliances Officer Nick Judd will depart the airline on 31 May 2020, and Chief Air Operations and People Safety Officer John Whittaker will depart on 31 July 2020.

Chief Marketing and Customer Officer Mike Tod will step away from the airline full-time on 31 May 2020, and will provide advisory support to the Chief Executive Officer and Board during the current business transformation phase.

Mr Foran says the portfolios of the three departing Executives will be absorbed by the remaining members of the Executive team.
