Air New Zealand has today announced the appointment of Nikhil Ravishankar as its next Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Greg Foran, who steps down in October after almost six years leading the airline through one of the most challenging periods in aviation history.
Prior to joining Air New Zealand, Nikhil served as Chief Digital Officer at Vector and Managing Director of Accenture. “I’m both thrilled and humbled to be given this opportunity to lead Air New Zealand,” says Nikhil. “This airline is an institution with a deep legacy but also a fantastic future. It’s a privilege to step into the CEO role and take on that responsibility for our people, our customers, and our country.”
