Hahn Air is regrouping its departments supporting
partner airlines, travel agencies and the global distribution systems (GDS)
into the new commercial and operation divisions. The new divisions also
include communications and marketing as well as IT support. The set-up allows
the company to further increase business results for its more than 350 partner
airlines and over 100,000 travel agency partners while taking advantage of
synergies for internal and external support.
Kirsten Rehmann, General Director of Hahn Air,
commented on the new set-up: “The restructuring process already started in 2019
and will enable us to maximise results for all customer groups and further
increase efficiency and optimise team work internally. This will especially be
of advantage after the Coronavirus crisis when our partner airlines and travel
agencies will have a strong need to kick-start their business.”
The newly formed commercial division will be headed by
Alexander Proschka who has been promoted to Executive Vice President
Commercial. His division comprises of the following departments: airline
business, communications and marketing, sales analytics and travel agency
distribution. Proschka has been with Hahn Air since 2008 and was previously in
charge of the sister companies Hahn Air Systems and Hahn Air Technologies with
their products H1-Air and X1-Air. He holds a diploma in international business
and industrial engineering from the University of Applied Sciences in
Wiesbaden.
Another long-standing Hahn Air executive, Frederick
Nowotny, has been promoted to Head of Operation to lead the new
operation division. Nowotny joined Hahn Air in 2008 and previously headed
up the sales engineering department. His division now includes the teams in
charge of all airline and product implementation processes, GDS interfaces and
inventory displays. In addition, he oversees the IT and second level support
departments, as well as the Hahn Air Service Desk which assists partner
airlines and answers ticketing enquiries of travel agents worldwide 24/7.
