Fiji Airways has appointed Paul Scurrah as its new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective November 1st.
Chairman of Fiji Airways Group Nalin Patel says Scurrah brings over two decades of executive experience across aviation, transport, logistics and tourism.
He says Scurrah’s proven leadership and results-driven approach make him the right person to lead Fiji Airways into its next phase.
