Heathrow Airport chairman Sir Nigel Rudd will be stepping down from his role in September 2016 after nine years and three terms at the helm – in line with the gateway’s standard board practice.
The airport says during his tenure, Heathrow has gone through significant change with Sir Nigel guiding and advising the Heathrow Board – including on the sale of airports and a regrouping of the company to focus solely on Heathrow.
The gateway says under Sir Nigel’s leadership, Heathrow has become a “focussed, high-quality business with a stable financial position and strong operational performance”.
His time on the board was capped by last year’s successful opening of Terminal 2: The Queen’s Terminal, marking the conclusion of an £11 billion ($16.4 billion) investment programme which transformed Heathrow.
Heathrow says preparations are underway for the appointment of a new chairperson who will take forward the airport’s expansion plans. To ensure a smooth transition, Sir Nigel will remain in post until this work is completed in the second half of 2016.
