The Qantas Group has announced a new CEO for its regional and charter business, QantasLink, which operates five services a week between Broken Hill and Sydney. Rachel Yangoyan will step into the role starting in November.
“Qantas started in outback Australia and it’s an honour to be taking on the role of QantasLink CEO and working with our people on improving how we serve regional communities as well as the resources sector”, Ms Yangoyan said.
In 20 years with the Qantas Group, Ms Yangoyan has most recently overseen the ‘entry into service’ program for the airline’s major fleet renewel, with a particular focus on the Airbus A220 – a carrier that will be a major part of QantasLink’s future.
“Rachel has a deep understanding of what it takes to run an airline and brings a lot of capability to this role,” Qantas Group CEO, Vanessa Holden, said.
“As CEO of QantasLink, she’ll be responsible for our regional and charter operations, which are key parts of our business and also key to the role we play in connecting remote parts of Australia.”
