Mr Verkerk is an experienced and highly skilled former senior executive in the aviation industry, including at Qantas, with professional qualifications in aeronautical engineering.

He has a strong understanding of the aviation regulatory environment, gained over 40 years as an aviation engineer of heavy passenger aircraft.

Mr Verkerk’s wealth of experience will enable him to provide in-depth insight into aviation engineering and maintenance, an identified capability gap on the current board...

PS: Passing strange how the CASA Board page lists Verkerk as being appointed on the 16th May, however the Dicky King MR announcement was published more than 2 weeks later??
