Max the Axe to go to Head Office
Max Moore-Wilton, formerly Head of the Prime Minister’s office and currently CEO of majority Macquarie Bank owned Sydney Airport Corporation will become Chairman of Macquarie Airports early in 2006, when his current three-year contract expires.
Macquarie Bank through its majority shareholding in Macquarie Airports, operates a global portfolio of airport investments in the UK, Brussels and Rome, is currently involved in a takeover bid for Copenhagen Airports and has expressed an interested in purchasing Budapest Airport.
As the on time most influential bureaucrat in Canberra, he became known as “Max the Axe” , a reputation which has rather continued during his time at Sydney Airports as he has frequently been in vocal and published dispute with airlines and other airport users over a range of issues, including landing fees and services.
