IATA has appointed Kamil Al-Awadhi as Regional Vice
President for Africa and the Middle East (AME), effective
immediately.

Al-Awadhi will lead IATA’s activities across the AME
from its regional offices in Amman, Jordan.

He succeeds Muhammad Albakri, who has been
appointed as IATA’s Senior Vice President for Customer, Financial
and Digital Services.

“This is the most challenging time for air
transport—in AME and around the world,” said Al-Awadhi. “The top
priority is reconnecting the world when governments are able to
safely re-open borders without travel restrictions. And the
immediate action is supporting governments in establishing
benchmarks and plans for an orderly resumption of service.

“The
crisis has also reinforced our determination to tackle some major
issues—reducing emissions, modernizing process, and reforming air
traffic management. Under my watch, IATA will continue to be a
driving force for a safe, reliable and sustainable aviation
sector. By connecting people and businesses aviation is a catalyst
for prosperity across the region.”
