A travel industry veteran who has held senior roles in British Airways and P&O Cruises is to become the next chair of Leeds Bradford Airport.
David Noyes, who has previously led Gray Dawes Travel, Cunard and P&O cruises and served as managing director of British Airways at Heathrow Airport until 2018, will replace outgoing chair Andy Clarke, former Asda CEO, in April. The move will follow the end of Mr Clarke's planned four-year tenure.
He has been hailed for leading the transformation of the airport's commercial and customer strategy and its recovery from Covid. Mr Noyes is also a non-executive director of London Luton Airport and will be tasked with leading Leeds Bradford's development and improving passenger experience.
