Star to shine in Queenstown
More than two dozen CEOs of some of the world’s top airlines will meet in Queenstown in December, following Air New Zealand’s successful pitch to secure the Star Alliance Chief Executive Board meeting in New Zealand.
The annual Star Alliance conference will take place across three days from December 12-14, combining both Chief Executive and Alliance Management Board meetings.
The two board meetings will cover Star Alliance key business decisions for the year ahead including voting on membership development, financial expenditure, product development and marketing programmes.
Approximately 80 attendees representing the 29 airline members and Star Alliance are expected to attend, as well as more than 30 international media.
“This is the first time New Zealand has hosted this significant Star Alliance event and it is a reflection of the strength of Air New Zealand’s influence in the alliance that members have agreed to come here,” says Air New Zealand chief executive, Rob Fyfe.
The conference will be held at Millbrook Resort, with a number of other events and activities to be hosted throughout the Queenstown region.
