oneworld announced today that its Chief Executive Officer Rob Gurney has elected to leave the alliance’s central management team.
Gurney joined oneworld in 2016 and grew the alliance with the addition of Royal Air Maroc, Alaska Airlines and future member Oman Air. He has also championed oneworld’s sustainability efforts as member airlines committed to a 10% sustainable aviation fuel target across the alliance by 2030. During his tenure, oneworld launched oneworld connect to offer airlines a new way to link to the alliance and provide more travelers the benefits of being part of oneworld.
Gurney will remain in his role until 1 July 2023. American Airlines Chief Commercial Officer Vasu Raja will lead the search for Gurney’s replacement on behalf of oneworld. Gurney and the oneworld management team will report to Raja until a successor is named.
Recently, oneworld relocated its global headquarters to Fort Worth.
