Craig Sinclair To Leave Air New Zealand
Air New Zealand Group General Manager Ventures Craig Sinclair has announced he will be leaving Air New Zealand.
Mr Sinclair advised the company upon return from annual leave in the New Year that he would be leaving to pursue personal business interests once Air New Zealand Engineering Services union members had voted on their counterproposal to retain wide body heavy maintenance in New Zealand. The outcome of that ballot was released on Monday.
Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Rob Fyfe said Mr Sinclair had been pivotal in leading not only the change process within Air New Zealand Engineering Services but other areas of the business, such as Airport Services and Freedom Air, during his four years with the airline. He has also overseen strong revenue growth in the global Cargo business.
“One of Craig’s great successes is that he has built an extremely strong team around him to see through the continuation of the excellent work he has done,” Mr Fyfe said.
Mr Sinclair will leave Air New Zealand upon completion of work related to the Air New Zealand Engineering Services restructuring.
Air New Zealand Engineering Services General Manager Chris Nassenstein, who reported to Mr Sinclair, will now report directly to Mr Fyfe effective immediately.
