Miniscule finally mentions the "A" word with appointments to Airservices Board and to the ATSB commission. Apparently attributed to DK -  :

New Airservices Australia Board appointees

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Air Marshall (Ret’d) Melvin Hupfeld AO DSC and Ms Nicolle Connelly to the board of Airservices Australia.

The appointment of Mr Hupfeld recognises his extensive experience in complex information systems and as a military and civilian pilot.

His depth of connections within the Department of Defence and broader government will greatly assist Airservices’ delivery of its strategic change program, including the OneSKY partnership with Defence.

Ms Connelly is an Associate Professor and Assistant Associate Dean of Aerospace Engineering and Aviation at RMIT, with an extensive history in aviation operations and safety issues across academia, government and within the airline industry, including almost 30 years as an air traffic controller and manager at Airservices. She has a comprehensive understanding of Australia’s aviation system.

Mr Hupfeld and Ms Connelly have been appointed for four and three-year terms respectively.

Together their wealth of knowledge and experience will help shape and govern Airservices Australia as it navigates future opportunities and challenges.

These appointments follow the reappointment of Ms Anne Brown to the Airservices board, along with the issuing of a new ministerial statement of expectations earlier this year.

I look forward to continuing to work with the Airservices Board to ensure Australia’s aviation industry remains among the safest in the world and a world-class leader.

Airservices Australia is responsible for 11 per cent of the world’s airspace, manages Australia’s skies, aviation rescue firefighting services and helps grow Australia’s aviation industry.

Mr Peter Wilson appointed ATSB Commissioner

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Wilson to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) Commission.

The appointment of Mr Wilson recognises his significant operational and senior executive experience in leadership and corporate roles across the aviation sector.

Mr Wilson accumulated approximately 17,500 professional flying hours over an operational career spanning almost 30 years at Qantas Airways, along with senior leadership experience at Virgin Australia and Tiger Air.

His experience at Australian airlines has included technical managerial roles, Chief Pilot, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer.

Mr Wilson has served on a number of boards and will bring to the ATSB high levels of technical expertise, experience and credibility across the aviation industry.

This appointment ensures that the ATSB’s Commission continues to have high levels of experience across rail, maritime and air transport – the three modes of transport for which they have investigatory responsibility.

I look forward to continuing to work with the ATSB Commission to ensure the highest transport safety for the Australian public through independent investigations and influencing safety action.
