Christchurch Airport senior executive Nick Flack is the newly appointed chief executive of Hawke’s Bay Airport, commencing in his new role from February 3, 2025.
Hawke’s Bay Airport chair Jon Nichols said the board was delighted to have secured such a high-calibre candidate.
“Nick comes to Hawke’s Bay with a proven track record of leadership within infrastructure organisations including aviation, shipping, and logistics. We are looking forward to having Nick on board and taking our airport into the future.”
Most recently, Nick has been general manager planning, assets and safety at Christchurch Airport. Prior to this he held management positions at Lyttleton Port and Centre Port.
“We were impressed by Nick’s ability to develop and execute successful project strategies, balance complex issues, and deliver commercially. But, most importantly, he builds strong teams while focusing on key stakeholder engagement,” said Nichols.
“Nick’s experience over the past 11 years in aviation, coupled with a deep understanding of the importance of regional infrastructure assets, will complement the skilled and talented team we’ve built at the airport.
“He was a finalist in the Deloitte Top 200 Awards in the young executive category in 2022 and has consistently been recognised for his leadership and executive skills.
“In appointing Nick, I’d also like to acknowledge the dedication of our airport team who stepped up significantly and showed exceptional commitment during the period of time without a chief executive,” said Nichols.
Flack said: “My new role offers a fantastic opportunity to contribute to regional prosperity and the future success of the airport. There is plenty to get my teeth into, and I am really looking forward to being in Hawke’s Bay, settling my young family into their new home, and leading the airport team.” he said.
