Wellington Airport CEO moves on

Stuff reports:

Wellington International Airport’s chief executive Steve Fitzgerald is taking up a new position with the airport’s majority shareholder, Infratil.

Fitzgerald fronted the airport’s controversial and subsequently overturned decision to erect a Wellywood sign on hillside land it owns near the Miramar Cutting.

He will take up a role in Sydney with HRL Morrison & Co, which manages Infratil, and will be responsible for airport investment.

This is no surprise. The airport company will take some time to recover from the Wellywood fiasco.
