Alan Joyce
From a working-class childhood in Dublin, Alan Joyce’s leadership of one of the world’s most iconic airlines, Qantas, is a story of ambition, intellect and steel. After early roles at Aer Lingus and a pivotal move to Ansett in Australia, Alan became the founding CEO of low-cost carrier Jetstar before being appointed CEO of the Qantas Group, at the age of just 42.
Few chief executives have been tested as relentlessly: the Global Financial Crisis, bitter industrial battles, unrelenting public scrutiny, and the near collapse of aviation during COVID. In a role where every decision is hugely consequential, Joyce tells his story as it happens – in real time, under pressure. For fifteen years, Alan Joyce was CEO of Australia’s most recognised corporation – Qantas, the flying kangaroo.
