HAWAIIAN Airlines (HA) this morning announced the appointment of Andrew Stanbury as its new Regional Director for Australia & NZ.
Stanbury (pictured) joins HA after more than six years with Fiji Airways (TD 28 Sep 2012) where he was initially regional GM for Australia and most recently Executive General Manager for Global Sales.
Prior to that he held a range of roles at Air New Zealand.
Stanbury replaces Gai Tyrrell, who was appointed as HA’s local chief four years ago (TD 17 Nov 2014), stepping aside this year to take up a new role heading up the Globus Family of Brands in Australasia (TD 09 Jul 2018).
Hawaiian Senior Vice President for Global Sales and Alliances, Theo Panagiotoulias, welcomed Stanbury to the carrier, saying “his strong leadership, strategic direction and deep expertise of the Asia-Pacific market will allow us to continue expanding as we introduce more travellers to our beautiful islands in the warmth of our authentic Hawaiian hospitality”.
Stanbury will take up his new role effective 02 Jan 2019.
