Statement on Qantas CEO, Alan Joyce AC

Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications

The decision by Alan Joyce to stand down as Chief Executive Office of Qantas marks the end of one era and the start of a new one with both major Australian airlines led by women.

His decision to bring forward his retirement from Qantas provides an opportunity for new leadership.

I wish Vanessa Hudson every success in her new role.
