Weeks after Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce brought forward his resignation to help Qantas “accelerate its renewal”, the company’s chairman Richard Goyder today announced he too is retiring early, to “support restoration of trust”.
But the early retirement will take place “prior to the company’s annual general meeting in late 2024” – meaning Goyder will be in the chair for a while yet.
This will give him time to (among other things) help Qantas respond to the Senate inquiry into air services, which reported on Monday.
