The appointments come as the airline, New Zealand's national carrier, navigates delayed aircraft deliveries, persistent engine problems and elevated fuel costs stemming from the Middle East conflict.
New Zealand-born Campbell Wilson brings more than three decades of aviation experience. He stepped down as Air India's chief executive in early April, after nearly four years in the role, amid persistent losses and increased regulatory scrutiny following a crash last year that killed 260 people.
Wilson was also the founding chief executive of Scoot, Singapore Airlines' (SIAL.SI) low-cost unit. During his long tenure at Singapore Airlines, he helped shape Scoot's informal, irreverent culture within a broader, more conservative organisation known for its focus on the premium market.
Meanwhile, Robert McDonald is currently the chair of Contact Energy (CEN.NZ) and a director at FleetPartners Group (FPR.AX).
