Alan Joyce: Riding the Jet Stream

Alan Joyce: Riding the Jet Stream is a compelling, factual and gripping memoir from one of Australia’s most consequential chief executives. With a network spanning seven prime ministers and countless captains of industry, 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. 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, Alan sets the record straight and tells his story as it happens – in real time, under pressure – in this candid memoir. From grounding the Qantas fleet, to steering through a pandemic that brought global travel to a standstill, Alan’s tenure is woven into some of the nation’s most significant moments.Alan’s an outstanding executive … intelligent, strategic, courageous and honest … clearly the attributes needed to lead an iconic company like Qantas through the many challenges he faced during his tenure. – Leigh Clifford, Qantas Chairman 2007–2018
