Auckland Airport appoints new CEO

Auckland Airport has appointed Adrian Littlewood as its new CEO.

Currently the general manager of retail and commercial, Littlewood joined the airport in 2009 and takes over from Simon Robertson who has been acting in the role since August.

Chair of Auckland Airport Joan Withers said Littlewood had played an instrumental role in delivering the company’s new strategic approach. “In particular he has done an outstanding job leading the growth and development of the retail and commercial division, our key non-aeronautical revenue lines which now deliver approximately 40 per cent of the Airport’s income – NZ$166m revenue.”
