Farnborough Airport names Marine Eugène as new group CEO

Most recently she served on the management board of Moonfare, the global digital investment platform.

Farnborough Airport has appointed Marine Eugène as its new Group CEO, effective 1 September 2026, as outgoing CEO Simon Geere moves into the role of group executive Chairman after more than six years leading the company.

Eugène brings nearly 20 years of business aviation experience, having held senior roles at NetJets and Flexjet – two of Farnborough Airport’s largest operators. Most recently she served on the management board of Moonfare, the global digital investment platform, overseeing investor relations, marketing and client services.

“It has been an immense privilege to have led the company during what has been a period of significant investment and strong financial growth. I am very much looking forward to working with Marine as we continue this incredible journey,” said Geere.

“Farnborough Airport is recognised across the world for its best-in-class facilities and outstanding service. The airport has a pivotal role in supporting UK economic growth and I am tremendously excited about the opportunity to work closely with the airport’s business partners and its stakeholders to ensure its future success,” said Eugène.

“We are grateful to Simon for his leadership and commitment over many years, which have helped shape Farnborough into the high-quality business it is today,” said Susana Leith-Smith, senior managing director at Macquarie Asset Management, which owns the airport. “We are also delighted to welcome Marine as CEO and look forward to her bringing deep sector experience as she leads the business into its next phase of growth.”

Farnborough is the UK’s largest business aviation airport and home to the biennial Farnborough International Airshow.

It serves as the primary business aviation gateway for London and the southeast of England.
