Air France-KLM has appointed Adriaan den Heijer as the airline group’s new chief commercial officer.
Den Heijer, who is currently executive vice president of Air France-KLM Cargo, will take over from Angus Clarke on 1 September. Den Heijer will also continue to be responsible for the group’s cargo operations “until further notice”.
Benjamin Smith, CEO of Air France-KLM, said: “With 30 years of experience at KLM and Air France-KLM, Adriaan knows the ins and outs of our business.
“He has accomplished a fantastic job as head of our cargo division, and I am fully confident in his ability to lead our commercial teams, while ensuring that our airlines continue to be industry references with innovative, customer-centred products and services.”
Den Heijer, who first joined KLM in 1995, has held a range of commercial and operational positions at the group since then, including the role of senior vice president of pricing and revenue management.
Clarke, who has been with Air France-KLM for six years, is leaving on 31 August to take up a position outside the company later this year.
