Former Luton Airport chairman takes up new role

Former Luton Airport chairman Clive Condie has been appointed to chair Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

He brings international experience in board level executive, non-executive and chair roles in the aviation, infrastructure and logistics industries, according to the Merseyside airport.

Condie, who left Luton airport in 2018 after almost five years, joins as Liverpool continues to build on record-breaking passenger numbers, with 20 aircraft operated by airlines based at there for the first time this year.

Tim Power, partner at airport majority owner, infrastructure investment firm Ancala, said: “Clive is a brilliant addition to our board and will build on the contributions of the previous chair, Robert Hough.

“Together, we are focused on helping the airport to further expand its aero and commercial service offerings, and to build on its already industry-leading performance and customer service, all the while focused on increasing its positive impact on Liverpool and the wider region.”

Airport chief executive John Irving said: “We are delighted to have Clive join us as Chairman as we look towards the next stage of growth at Liverpool Airport and his wealth of aviation experience will be invaluable in the coming years.”

Condie said: “Liverpool John Lennon Airport is a great success story and I am really looking forward to joining the board at this exciting time.

“I am honoured to be taking over from Robert Hough and working with John Irving and his team to play my part in contributing to the airport’s ambitious growth plans and the economic benefits that it will bring to the Liverpool region.”
