Former Kenya Airways
chief executive
Sebastian Mikosz has been appointed as the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) senior vice president for member and external
relations.
The Polish national quit the national carrier last December, six months before expiry of his tenure.
He cited ‘personal reason’ for his early departure in a memo to staff.
Mr
Mikosz will now take over from Paul Steele, who retired from IATA in
October last year. IATA’s chief economist Brian Pearce has been doubling
up as the VP on an interim basis.
“The International
Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that Sebastian Mikosz will
join IATA as the Association’s Senior Vice President for Member and
External Relations, effective 1 June 2020,” said IATA’s director-general
and CEO Alexandre de Juniac in a statement on Monday.
“At IATA, Mikosz will lead the organisation’s global advocacy
activities and aero-political policy development, along with managing
the association’s strategic relationships,” he added.
Prior
to joining KQ in 2017, Mr Mikosz was CEO of Poland’s largest online
travel agency, the eSKY Group, between 2015 and 2017 and Polish flag
carrier, LOT Polish Airlines, from 2009 to 2015.
