Emirates has appointed Jabr Al-Azeeby as the new Vice President India and Nepal.
This is part of the airline’s management rotation and positions it to better serve customer needs and respond with agility to market dynamics.
Al-Azeeby began his career with Emirates in October 2005 as a commercial graduate trainee, and quickly moved up the ranks to the role of Manager Uganda in 2008. He held this position for three years, gaining significant expertise in managing commercial operations and teams, enhancing the customer experience, looking for opportunities to better serve the local community, and working with internal stakeholders across Emirates’ wide network and span.
This was followed by stints in several countries, including Cyprus, Thailand and Indochina. Jabr has more than 14 years of experience spearheading the airline’s commercial operations across countries and regions.
Jabr Al-Azeeby, the new Vice President India and Nepal said: “I’ve always admired the different facets of India, its people and its culture, and am awed by the country’s progress and fast-paced development. This is an interesting time, as the UAE and India have recently forged even closer bilateral ties. I’m excited to lead the Emirates team in India and look forward to building a strong relationship with our customers, the trade and all our key stakeholders. India continues to lead as one of our most important markets and we’re committed to offering our customers convenience, comfort, innovative products and personalised services. Our growing base of Indian travellers are seeking quality travel experiences worldwide, and we aim to give our customers world class travel services and value for money.”
With a successful track record of boosting the airline’s operations in challenging markets, Al-Azeeby commences his new role from October, after replacing Essa Sulaiman Ahmad who has now been promoted as Divisional Vice President USA and Canada.
