Qantas CEO appointed Chair of oneworld Governing Board
Qantas CEO Geoff Dixon has been appointed to the top job as Chairman of the Governing Board of oneworld, the global airline alliance, succeeding Fernando Conte, Chairman and Chief Executive of the alliance’s Spanish member Iberia, who has held the position for more than two years.
Geoff Dixon will take over the Chief Executive’s Board in Los Angeles next week, leading the alliance during the alliance’s biggest expansion in its history, with three airlines lining up to join early next year: –
Japan Airlines, Hungary’s Malév and Royal Jordanian.
These airlines will add almost a hundred destinations to oneworld’s network, which today covers more than 600 airports in 135 countries, and increase the grouping’s annual revenues by a third to US$85 billion (A$112 billion).
Alliance members also include Qantas, Iberia, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, LAN, Finnair and Aer Lingus plus a dozen affiliates, combined offering a fleet of more than 2,100 aircraft and carrying almost 260 million passengers last year, 20% of the world’s total airline industry capacity, with over recent years, oneworld being the only airline alliance whose members have collectively achieved profits – US$1.8 billion (A$2.4 billion) in their last full year, on revenues totalling US$65 billion (A$86 billion).
