Barre commented: “I am thrilled to join Air bp at this exciting time for the business. The new Air bp strategy was launched just over a year ago, responding to the changing needs of our customers and the team is making great strides to execute it. My priority in this role is to continue to deliver safe and reliable operations for our customers, and I am also committed to delivering our aim to be the sustainability partner of choice to the industry.”
