Former Tigerair Australia CEO Merren McArthur has said the management teams she worked with "didn't understand" how to work under a female CEO before her.
No. 3 Squadron was responsible for the safe arrival of the aircraft into Australia in May following its ferry across the Pacific Ocean from Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
It came following a safety incident in 2019 that saw a “haze” form in the cabin after an A330 returned back to Sydney due to a hydraulic leak.
The airline's CEO claimed the average time to be put through to an operator had dropped to three minutes, which was the best in the business’ history.
The global fight for aviation talent shows no signs of relenting after the airline said it would hold three more open days to recruit cabin crew to be based in Dubai.
The aircraft was first delivered in 1992 but was best known for serving with the legendary 617 Squadron responsible for the ‘Dam Buster’ bombing raids over Germany in 1943.
