oneworld names Rob Gurney as CEO

oneworld, the global airline alliance, named industry veteran Rob Gurney as its new CEO. He succeeds Bruce Ashby, who announced in January that he would be stepping down from the role this summer after more than five years in the position.
Rob Gurney will join oneworld in October after leaving Gulf carrier Emirates, where he served as Senior Vice-President Commercial Operations The Americas. He has substantial experience of airline alliances with much of his 25-year career in the industry spent with oneworld founding members British Airways and Qantas.
