Air New Zealand Chief Executive Greg Foran has announced he will step down in October 2025. Chair Dame Therese Walsh said that Foran indicated to the Board his belief that the airline is well-positioned for continued growth and innovation, making it an appropriate time for him to pursue a new challenge.

Paying tribute to Foran's five-year tenure, Dame Therese said, "Greg has always displayed exceptional leadership and grit, not only guiding Air New Zealand through global aviation's most significant crisis but also maintaining the airline's tradition of innovation, strong culture, and care for our country. "

She highlighted Foran's management of significant global supply chain challenges as a notable contribution. These challenges began with Covid-19 and continue with engine issues affecting both Boeing and Airbus fleets. "While these challenges impact our operations almost daily, Greg's relentless focus and global profile have been instrumental in mitigating consequential disruptions on our customers," she said.

Dame Therese added that Foran has been generous with his notice period, allowing the Board time to conduct a global search for his replacement. "The timing also allows Greg to help transition in a new leader. In the meantime, Greg will continue to lead Air New Zealand with the same dedication and energy that has defined his time with us," she said.

Reflecting on his tenure at Air New Zealand, Greg Foran said: "Leading Air New Zealand has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. It's been an incredible experience alongside an exceptional team. I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together and the way we've positioned Air New Zealand for the future. "

Foran expressed gratitude towards his team: "I am humbled by the work Air New Zealanders do every day and their extraordinary commitment to each other, our customers, and our country. Despite many issues outside of our control, we have continued to deliver improvements to our service every day. "

He concluded by saying: "I'll leave later this year knowing Air New Zealand's foundations are immensely strong and its future very bright. It has been an honour to serve our customers, our 11,500-strong team, and New Zealand. I will look back on my time here with immense pride and gratitude. "
