Air New Zealand announces departure of Chief Corporate Affairs Officer

Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Mat Bolland will leave Air New Zealand on 31 July, as part of a
wider review of costs being undertaken by the airline.
Mr Bolland joined Air New Zealand in May 2021, helping the airline navigate its recovery from
Covid and establishing enduring relationships with government, regulatory and media stakeholders
during one the most challenging periods in its history.
Chief Executive Greg Foran says the economic challenges faced by the airline have led to an
extensive review of costs, requiring the company to make some difficult decisions to manage these
costs.
“Mat has made a remarkable contribution during one of the most challenging and unpredictable
times in Air New Zealand’s history. Beyond working with our key stakeholders as we restarted the
airline, he has established Air New Zealand’s reputation as a company that fronts up, talks candidly
about issues that matter to customers while also highlighting its critical role for New Zealand as a
whole.”
“I have valued Mat’s counsel through key milestones ranging from the capital raise that put us back
on our own two feet, his leadership of our Māori Development strategy, retention of our high
corporate reputation ranking and his advocacy for regulatory reform to ensure Air New Zealand
remains a competitive airline that delivers to New Zealanders.”
Chief Sustainability Officer Kiri Hannifin will commence a consolidated role of Chief Sustainability
& Corporate Affairs Officer from 24 June while Mat will continue to consult to Air New Zealand until
31 July to complete some key initiatives. Kiri has over 20 years’ experience working in
communications and corporate affairs, including 7 years leading these portfolios at Countdown
Supermarkets.
This announcement is made pursuant to Listing Rule 3.20.1.
Ends.
This announcement has been authorised for release to NZX and ASX by Jennifer Page, General
Counsel & Company Secretary (jennifer.page@airnz.co.nz).
