Update on Chief Customer and Sales Officer

After 20 years at the airline, Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne

Geraghty is stepping down from her role, effective January 2025. She will be returning to

Australia to spend time with her family.


Leanne joined the airline in 2004, holding a number of roles in Australia, before relocating to

New Zealand in 2016. In 2020, she took up the role of Chief Customer and Sales Officer.


Throughout her tenure, Leanne has achieved significant milestones, including being a key part

of the successful market launches of New York, Houston, Chicago, Taipei, Seoul, and Buenos

Aires, as well as leading our global sales efforts. Her leadership has also seen the appointment

of a new uniform designer, the implementation of numerous brand and marketing campaigns,

and the production of multiple safety videos. She has been instrumental in fostering strong

relationships across the tourism and travel industry and enhancing the overall customer

experience.


Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Greg Foran said Leanne’s contribution to the airline

over the past two decades has been immense, and she will be deeply missed by the wider Air

New Zealand whānau.


"Leanne has been an invaluable part of our team, and her contributions have been pivotal in

shaping the airline's success over the past 20 years. She has been an exceptional leader and

team member at Air New Zealand. Leanne puts our customers, people and partners at the

heart of every decision, and we have been incredibly lucky to have her as an ambassador for

the airline for such a long time.”


The process to fill her position will commence shortly.


This announcement is made pursuant to Listing Rule 3.20.1.


Ends.
