Arun Nair has been promoted to manager, alliances & partnerships at Etihad Cargo and will begin his new Abu Dhabi-based role on 1 March.
He has worked for Etihad since 2014 across revenue management, charter sales, and product development.
Nair started out in his career at the airline within the role of capacity control officer – revenue management, where he focused on flight capacity management.
He then stepped into the role of charter sales analyst, looking after cargo charter sales and flight setup coordination.
Following this, he became product development manager, a role he carried out for over three years.
Prior to joining Etihad, Nair had jobs working in guest services/flight operations for AirAsia and in sales, reservations and operations for Allied Aviation, which operated as a GSSA for Etihad Cargo at the time.
“With a decade of experience at Etihad across key areas such as revenue management, charter sales, and product development, Arun brings a wealth of expertise and a deep understanding of the industry to this new position.
“We’re excited to see how Arun will lead and shape our partnership strategy in alignment with Etihad’s broader network vision. Please join us in wishing him every success in this new chapter!”
In December, Etihad Cargo appointed Andy Newbold as senior manager global accounts with the task of strengthening customer relationships.
