“Christopher thoroughly deserves to lead Air New Zealand into the next chapter of its history,” said Mr Fyfe. “He is a world class executive on every level and will challenge Air New Zealanders to lift the airline’s commercial and customer focus to an even higher level.”
Over the next six months there will be a transition from Mr Fyfe to Mr Luxon’s leadership before formally taking over at the end of December this year.
