Etihad Airways has appointed Robert "Dougie" Douglas as its General
Manager for Armenia.
Douglas, who takes up the role immediately, will lead the airline's
Armenian sales and marketing operations from its new Yerevan office.
The appointment comes as Etihad Airways prepares to launch four
flights per week between Abu Dhabi and Yerevan on 2 July 2014.
Douglas' aviation career spans more than 30 years and prior to joining
Etihad Airways in 2005, he worked in more than 10 countries with
British Airways and partner airlines.
He moves to Yerevan from Jakarta, where he was Etihad Airways'
general manager for Indonesia between 2007 and 2014. Previously,
Douglas was the airline's Area Manager for Northern India and Nepal,
based in New Delhi.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways' Chief Commercial Officer, said:
"As we continue to build our presence in key markets around the world,
showcasing Abu Dhabi as a fantastic business and leisure destination
and global connection point, Dougie Douglas is the ideal choice to
lead our new Armenian operations.
"Dougie is an expert airline manager, knows Armenia and the region
very well, and his knowledge and experience from having previously
worked and lived in Yerevan will be invaluable to the success of
Etihad Airways' new services to Abu Dhabi.
"These services will contribute to the development of tourism in
Armenia, strengthen the already strong trade and tourism ties with
the UAE, and provide great opportunities to connect over Abu Dhabi to
the entire Gulf region and key North and South American destinations -
home to a vast Armenian diaspora."
