Iceland-based ACMI leasing and air freight company Bluebird Nordic earlier this month announced the appointment of Audrone Keinyte as the company’s CEO.

With a career in tourism and hospitality spanning over 20 years, Audrone was the former CEO of Novaturas, the largest tour operator in the Baltic region.

She is also taking over the CEO post at BBN Cargo Airlines Holdings, the holding company of the cargo airline. Audrone succeeds Siggi Agustsson, who moves up to parent company Avia Solutions Group, as a senior advisor to the chairman of the board.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that, together with an experienced team at Bluebird Nordic and the support of Avia Solutions Group, we will uncover the true potential of the company and win a leading position in cargo aviation,” said CEO Audrone Keinyte.

Bluebird Nordic works with Emirates and UPS via Dublin to extend its connection to Asia, offering solutions to and from all major airports in the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
