Chris Hunter to replace Simon McKearney.

Helloworld Travel Limited has just announced the appointment of Chris Hunter as its new General Manager for New Zealand, having previously confirmed the departure of Executive General Manager Simon McKearney (TD 26 June).

Helloworld CEO Andrew Burnes said the role had been revised following the company’s recent restructure in NZ, with the aim of ensuring the business “continues to meet the needs of its stakeholders in New Zealand and takes advantage of the group’s wider synergies”.

Hunter’s career has included more than 16 years with Air New Zealand, as well as former roles with Flight Centre, Tourism Exchange New Zealand and Etihad Airways Holidays.

“New Zealand is a key market for Helloworld and one that we see as key for the resumption of our business in a post-COVID world,” Burnes said, saying Hunter was a “proven innovator and we are delighted to have him onboard”.
