KEY POINTS:
Auckland Airport announced today a new organisational structure and leadership team.
Andrew Pirie has been appointed strategic communications advisor, Glenn Wedlock will be general manager - aeronautical business development and Adrian Littlewood is general manager - retail.
The new Auckland Airport leadership structure comprises three profit-centre divisions of Aeronautical, Retail and Property, supported by a new aeronautical business development unit and a corporate centre.
Responsibilities of the former Engineering division have been incorporated into other divisions.
"With tougher global economic conditions and volatile fuel prices influencing likely passenger and airfreight demand, it is critical that Auckland Airport puts significantly more focus on business development activity, partner support and working on new growth strategies", said chief executive Simon Moutter.
