Interim Managing Director

The Company is seeking a Managing Director to spearhead its strategic and commercial development. The successful candidate will be tasked with leading the airport into a new phase, with a focus on expanding its commercial activities, including the development of land and property assets, and strengthening relationships with airlines. The role is pivotal in reducing the airport's reliance on public subsidy and requires a senior leader with a strong commercial track record, particularly in areas such as airline negotiations, route development, and asset commercialization within an aviation environment. The ideal candidate will have a background in the aviation sector, with established credibility in the industry, and will be comfortable operating in a politically sensitive, publicly owned environment. Applicants for the Managing Director position at the company should be prepared to take on a challenging yet rewarding role. The airport is already a significant regional asset, and the focus is on building a sustainable commercial future. The role demands a leader with resilience, tact, and a genuine respect for the expertise of the team. Experience in public sector governance, Board reporting, and stakeholder management is highly valued, as the successful candidate will be expected to work closely with the shareholder and explain commercial decisions in a clear and constructive manner. This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference and shape the future of the airport over the next decade, and the company is looking for a candidate who is ready to take on this responsibility and leave the organization in a stronger position.
