Australia Pacific Airports Corporation announces new Chair

Australia Pacific Airports Corporation (APAC), the owner of Melbourne and Launceston Airports, is pleased to announce the appointment of Christine O’Reilly as its new Chairperson.

Ms O’Reilly will replace Peter Hay on 1 October, who retires after five years as Chair of APAC.

APAC CEO Lorie Argus said Ms O’Reilly’s appointment comes at an exciting time, as the company invests in the most ambitious 10-year capital works plan of any major airport in the country.

“Christine has served on the boards and executive leadership teams of some of Australia’s most recognisable companies,” she said.

“Her knowledge of and experience in the infrastructure sector is extensive, and that experience will be essential to our success as we grow Melbourne and Launceston Airports so they can serve their growing markets. Our plans for growth include a third runway, new roads and upgrades that will make our terminals even better for passengers. 

“Coupled with her expertise in the financial services industry, Christine’s experience and skills complement our already strong track record in executing large-scale projects.

“Her leadership through our continued growth period will build on the foundations Peter has built during his five years as APAC Chair. Peter has led APAC through a tumultuous few years, and his proven performance in business and his decisiveness and integrity have been assets to the company.

“Peter has guided APAC’s recovery from Covid, with Launceston achieving one of the fastest capacity recoveries in the nation and Melbourne Airport the first capital city airport to exceed 100 per cent of pre-pandemic capacity in the international market.

“We are extremely fortunate to have benefited from Peter’s leadership, and I am grateful for his years of service, wisdom and advice,” Ms Argus said.
