RESPECTED miltary leader Sir Angus Houston will join the board of Virgin Australia Group, taking the place of Mark Vaile who steps down today after 10 years on the airline’s board.
The retired Air Chief Marshal and former Chief of the Australian Defence Force becomes one of the highest-profile figures on the Virgin board.
“Sir Angus’ experience as one of Australia’s most senior aviation and military leaders will further strengthen and diversify the board of the Virgin Australia Group,” said the airline’s Chairman Elizabeth Bryan.
“In addition to his extensive leadership experience, Sir Angus’ unique insights into aviation and ability to address complex issues in an independent capacity will be a great asset,” she said.
Houston is also a past Chairman of Airservices Australia, and led Australia’s search mission after the loss of flight MH370.
