Air France-KLM has appointed Fahmi Mahjoub as the new UK and Ireland general manager, based at the regional headquarters in London.
He joined Air France in 1999 and has held several senior positions, including commercial director in India and pricing director for the North Atlantic joint venture with Delta in the Netherlands.
Mahjoub has moved to the UK with his wife and three children, following his role as Air France-KLM pricing and revenue management vice-president.
His predecessor, Bénédicte Duval, has taken over the role of cargo vice-president for Africa, based at the Air France headquarters in Paris.
Mahjoub said: “I am honoured to lead the Air France-KLM operation in what is one of the biggest markets for the group.
“Especially in the current climate, I look forward towards maintaining a strong regional presence for Air France and KLM across the regions, while working closely with our strategic partners to enhance our customer value proposition and create exciting network opportunities for our customers to reach the world once again.
“I am also particularly looking forward to supporting our corporate clients getting back to business, helping our leisure passengers reach their holiday destinations, and most importantly, bringing families back together.”
