IATA announced Qantas Airways (QF) CEO and managing director Alan Joyce has succeeded KLM president and CEO Peter Hartman as chairman of the board of directors (ATW Daily News, June 8, 2011). The leadership change took place at the conclusion of IATA’s 68th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit in Beijing. Joyce’s term expires at the conclusion of next year’s AGM, to be held in Cape Town, South Africa.
Joyce, who has led QF since November 2008, said his top priorities, “as always, will be safety, security and sustainability. On top of that, I want to see IATA continue to deliver value to its members by being a strong advocate for the industry. Aviation delivers enormous economic benefits—supporting some 57 million jobs and $2.2 trillion in economic activity. We need to ensure that governments understand what is at stake when they are making key decisions on taxes, regulation and capacity expansion,” Joyce said.
