One of the worst executives to ever grace this land is apparently going to get it back on track. Destroyed three airlines, might as well add a rail line to that also.

The Melbourne Airport Rail Link (MARL) project has taken an important step forward, with the appointment of Ms Merren McArthur as the independent Chair of the MARL Steering Committee.

This follows the agreement of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reached between the Australian Government, Victorian Government and Melbourne Airport earlier this year.

As part of the MoU, all three parties committed to establishing a Steering Committee led by senior officials from each organisation to progress this project.

In her role, Ms McArthur will foster a collaborative and constructive environment, enabling the parties to work together to develop a clear and effective pathway for the successful delivery of the MARL.

Ms McArthur is a Non-Executive Director and CEO with significant governance experience in the aviation, rail and broader transport and freight sectors, including:

as CEO of Tiger Airlines, Virgin Australia Regional Airlines and Virgin Australia Cargo
as a Non-Executive Director of Airport Development Group and National Intermodal Corporation
as an Executive Director and Chair of the People and Safety Committee of Queensland Rail, and
as a legal advisor to governments on commercial governance issues.

Ms McArthur's wealth of experience makes her well placed to Chair the Steering Committee that will navigate the complexities of this major urban infrastructure project.

All parties recognise the importance of the Steering Committee having strong leadership and the experience and capability to effectively and responsibly agree to the pathway for the delivery of MARL. The appointment of Ms McArthur is an important step towards reaching that goal.

Take it as a blessing that whilst it is transport, it isn’t airlines!

I see the Canadian airline was a winner 😂

It was only a rumour but I was told she attempted to muscle her way back into Virgin Mark 2.

They must have checked the resume prior to interview which was a saving grace.

And in Todays Australian

Christ, I am pleased that didn’t come to pass.
