Justin Watson will succeed the departing Malcolm Johns as the new chief executive of Christchurch Airport in New Zealand on January 1, 2023.
Watson, currently the airport’s chief aeronautical and commercial officer, was considered the best fit for the role after what the gateway called “months of extensive search” for a new leader.
Indeed, director and chair of airport’s People, Culture and Safety Committee, Sarah Ottrey, said the search for the new chief executive involved some exceptional candidates both onshore and offshore.
