(Reuters) – Bain Capital-owned Virgin Australia said on Tuesday its CEO, Jayne Hrdlicka, is stepping down from her role, as the carrier gears up for its next phase of transformation with an initial public offering in the works.
Hrdlicka’s resignation comes after the airline returned to profitability in fiscal 2023 alongside a strong first half into 2024.
In her four-year tenure, Hrdlicka was in charge of Virgin’s operations during challenges linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
