SWISS has named Lufthansa Cargo's chief commercial officer (CCO) Ashwin Bhat as its newest board member.
Bhat was elected to the board during the company’s annual general meeting on 23 February and will succeed Christina Foerster, who remains a member of the Lufthansa Group executive board and also interim chief executive of Brussels Airlines, which like SWISS is another of the group's airlines.
“On behalf of our entire board of directors, I would like to offer Christina Foerster my sincere thanks for her great work, her unbounded application and her deep commitment to our company,” said Reto Francioni, chairman of the SWISS board.
Fancioni said Bhat, a SWISS WorldCargo veteran, is "recognised and respected for his extensive expertise, especially in the global airfreight business that is of such key importance to SWISS".
