Air New Zealand Ltd Chief Executive Officer Christopher Luxon resigned after more than six years in the role, as he raised the possibility of a new career in politics.
Luxon, 48, will step down from day-to-day leadership of the airline on September 25, the company said. An international search for his replacement is underway and a new CEO is expected to be announced in the near future, Chairman Tony Carter said in a statement.
Air New Zealand shares more than doubled under Luxon’s tenure and the airline’s revenue and profit jumped. Luxon said he’d have a break after he finishes up, and was open to a range of new work, including politics.
“I would like to think more about how I can best use my skills, abilities and experience to make a further contribution to the success of New Zealand whether that be through corporate life, politics or a not-for-profit,†Luxon said.
