Dave Emerson Named CEO of Virgin Australia
Dave Emerson has been appointed as the new CEO of Virgin Australia, succeeding Jayne Hrdlicka, after a comprehensive global search. Emerson, who has served as Virgin's chief commercial officer since 2021, begins his transition immediately and will formally assume the role on March 14. His appointment came after frontrunner Paul Jones withdrew due to union and government concerns related to previous controversies. Emerson pledges to continue the airline's transformation strategy initiated under Hrdlicka's leadership, focusing on growth, enhancing customer experience, and maintaining the airline's competitive edge. The leadership change comes as Virgin Australia records significant financial performance and strengthens its partnership with Qatar Airways, offering more international flight options. Hrdlicka will remain for a few months to support the leadership transition.
