MInister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King announced today that Anne Brown had been appointed chair of Airservices Australia for the next three years.
Brown, who has been a member of the Airservices board for five years, takes the job from outgoing chair John Weber, and is the first woman in the role.
"Ms Brown brings a wealth of experience to the role, having been a member of the Airservices Board for over five years, including serving as deputy chair since December 2024," King said.
"With a background in Australian and international financial markets, risk management, governance and regulatory environments, her skill set complements the existing board in delivering and upholding Australia’s world-class aviation safety standards."
Brown’s appointment comes at a crucial time when Airservices is modernising Australia’s air traffic control systems through the OneSKY in partnership with the Department of Defence, and establishing digital aerodrome services to airports like Canberra and Western Sydney International, and developing new airspace architecture for the Sydney basin.
King also thanked Weber for his tenure as Airservices chair, highlighting his significant contribution to the service provider.
