Sunshine Coast Airport Chair Dennis Chant said “The Board of Sunshine Coast Airport is confident that Andrew has the skillset, experience and energy required to lead Sunshine Coast Airport to the next level and to capitalise on the significant investment that is currently being made in upgrading its infrastructure.
“Andrew brings with him many years of experience in the aviation, infrastructure, property and tourism sectors, as well as extensive experience working with local, state and federal authorities.
“During his time at Brisbane International Airport, Andrew has been involved with one of the most comprehensive and pace-setting transformations of an airport in Australia. We believe this experience will be invaluable as we undertake a similar transformation and expansion of Sunshine Coast Airport, including the commissioning of a new runway that will massively increase the potential of the airport.”
