Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, has announced a comprehensive transformation of its organisational structure to further enhance customer experience, support business development, and drive continued growth. The new structure will enable the carrier to align more closely with the needs of its customers with a new allocation of regions and the creation of a dedicated Customer Experience Department.
The transformation has restructured Etihad Cargo’s global network into four regions managed by newly appointed Directors: South Asia and Oceania (SAPAC, India, Vietnam, Australia) led by Bernard Lee; North Eastern Asia (China, Hong Kong and Macau, Korea, Japan, Taiwan) led by Jacqueline Han Lin Ni; Europe and Americas (North Europe, Central Europe, South Europe, UK and Ireland, Americas) led by Rainer Krammer; and Africa, Middle East and CIS (GCC, UAE, Africa, Levant, CIS) led by Grant Kemp. This regional segmentation is designed to enhance capabilities in key markets and bring the organisation closer to its customers, allowing for more effective and tailored responses to specific requirements.
To enhance customer service and satisfaction, the carrier is further developing its Customer Experience Department. Led by Lubna Allaham, this dedicated department will improve the customer journey with additional customised customer-centric solutions, ensuring Etihad Cargo can continue to deliver high levels of service across all touchpoints.
Etihad Cargo will also strengthen its sales team and reinforce its commitment to the UAE market with the appointment of Rayan Alhaddar to the new role of Senior Manager Business Development Cargo Manager.

By enhancing Etihad Cargo’s regional capabilities and focusing on customer experience, the carrier is not only improving its service offering but also reinforcing its commitment to being the air cargo partner of choice.
