Alan Joyce: Riding the Jet Stream is a compelling memoir from one of Australia’s most consequential chief executives. With a network spanning seven prime ministers and countless captains of industry and global aviation innovators, Alan Joyce provides a no-holds-barred account of some of the most important decisions taken during his career leading one of aviation’s most respected brands.
Description
From the 2011 decision to ground the entire Qantas fleet, to managing the airline during aviation’s darkest period – the COVID-19 Pandemic – Alan reveals how tumultuous it was to keep an airline from failing in this candid memoir. This is a compelling, factual and gripping account of the aviation industry where one decision can ground a nation – the story of a leader tested by crisis, defined by risk, and never far from turbulence.

About the Author
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 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.
