Air New Zealand has promoted its chief digital officer, Nikhil Ravishankar, to succeed Greg Foran as chief executive, as the airline looks to capitalise on recent upgrades to its loyalty and bookings systems.
Ravishankar will start in the top job on October 20, when Foran steps down after six years in the role. Like Foran, Ravishankar does not have a background in aviation. He joined Air New Zealand as its chief digital officer five years ago, following a career at Telecom New Zealand and Accenture.
