The oneworld Alliance has named Ole Orvér as its new CEO following the departure of Nathaniel Peiper in November 2025.
Robert Isom, American Airlines Chief Executive Officer (CEO), in his capacity of Chairman of oneworld’s Governing Board, welcomed Orvér to his new role. OneWorld had been without a permanent CEO for the last three months after Peiper left to take on the role of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at American Airlines
In a press release announcing Orvér’s appointment on February 23, 2026, Isom said: “With his proven track record of driving commercial performance, deep knowledge of airline partnerships, and extensive international experience, he will continue to deliver on the slate of forthcoming customer-first initiatives that further strengthen oneworld’s position as the world’s premium airline alliance.”
Orvér, whose career in aviation spans more than 20 years, was Finnair’s Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) until April 2025. Prior to that Orvér held senior executive roles at Qatar Airways, Air Berlin, LOT Polish Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS).
