He replaces Martin Dolan, who was the ATSB chief commissioner for the past seven years.

“The Commission sincerely thanks previous Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan for his valuable leadership over the past seven years,” the ATSB said in a statement.

“The Commission wishes Martin the best in his retirement and looks forward to building on his success under Greg’s leadership.”

Hood, who began his career as a RAAF air traffic controller, was previously executive general manager for air traffic control at Airservices, a position he held since 2013. He also previously worked at the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and is a pilot who flies his own BD4 aircraft.
