Auckland Airport announces executive
team change
Auckland Airport has announced changes to its executive team. General Manager Retail and
Commercial Richard Barker will be leaving the organisation on June 30, following six years
with the business.
“Richard has made a strong contribution during his time with Auckland Airport, leading the
development of our award-winning retail and food and beverage area at the international
terminal, launching our successful online shopping platform The Mall, and ensuring travellers
have a great experience every time they pass through our precinct,” said Auckland Airport
Chief Executive Adrian Littlewood.
“While we are currently managing through the impact of COVID-19, Richard’s leadership and
commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience means Auckland Airport’s
retail business will be in an excellent position to rebuild quickly once the market begins to
recover. Richard will be very much missed by everyone in the Auckland Airport team, as he
looks to explore new opportunities outside our organisation. We wish him all the very best for
the future,” said Mr Littlewood.
Mr Barker has been responsible for developing Auckland Airport’s retailing businesses,
including duty free, specialty retail, and food and beverage, as well as overseeing passenger
experience and car-parking. Under his leadership, in 2019 Auckland Airport's refurbished
departure terminal and dining precinct was named the global Airport Food & Beverage Offer
of the Year, while The Mall won ‘best e-commerce platform’ at the 2020 Moodies travel
journey digital awards.
Responsibility for Mr Barker’s business portfolios will be shared between other members of
the executive team.
