Chief Operational Integrity and Safety Officer steps away from leadership position
After 40 years of service, Air New Zealand Chief Operational Integrity and Safety Officer
Captain David Morgan has today announced he is stepping down from his leadership position
at the airline.
While he will no longer be in his corporate role, David will continue flying for the company in
what will be his sixth aircraft type, the Airbus A320.
David has given a lifetime of service to Air New Zealand and across nearly four decades has
been at the helm through the highest of highs and some of the toughest periods in the airline's
history.
Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Greg Foran said that while it’s a sad day for the
airline, he knows it wouldn’t be what it is today without the service David delivered throughout
his tenure.
“When people think of Air New Zealand, many Kiwi will know or have heard of Captain David
Morgan. He’s represented the airline on the ground and in the skies with the highest level of
excellence, and I speak on behalf of all Air New Zealanders past and present when I say a
heartfelt thank you for his service.
David will be deeply missed by the leadership team and many others across the business and
aviation community. We are grateful he is continuing to fly with us, and I look forward to the day
I hear him say, ‘Welcome on board this Air New Zealand aircraft’ when I board one of our
flights”.
The airline is working through a replacement for the role with David staying on the leadership
team until early 2025 to support the transition.
This announcement is made pursuant to Listing Rule 3.20.1.
Ends.
