Air New Zealand has appointed Stu Jones as its new General Manager Australia.
Stu brings more than 17 years’ experience in the travel and tourism industry, including the past decade at Air New Zealand, where he has held senior commercial leadership roles across sales, distribution, strategic partnerships, loyalty and business development.
He is no stranger to the Australian market, having previously served as Senior Manager Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.
“Australia remains one of Air New Zealand’s most important international markets and Stu’s appointment reflects the airline’s commitment to strengthening its presence and partnerships across the Tasman,” said Scott Wilkinson, Air New Zealand Chief Commercial Officer.
“With his extensive commercial experience and strong industry relationships, Stu is well positioned to build on the foundations established by the Australian team, deepen relationships with travel trade partners and help connect more Australians with Air New Zealand and the world.”
Mr Jones will take up his new post on January 18 next year.
