Key joins Air NZ board

Stuff reports:

Former prime minister John Key has taken a directorship with the “incredible” Air New Zealand.

Key, who in March left Parliament after resigning following eight years in power, will be a director from September.

Air New Zealand chairman Tony Carter said it had been trying to get Key as a director since the former prime minister announced his resignation in December.

“John will bring extensive international commercial experience, outstanding leadership skills, global perspective and a keen understanding of the tourism sector gained during the years he was tourism minister as well as prime minister of New Zealand.”

What a great appointment for Air New Zealand.
