Emirates names new UK chief
Emirates has appointed Jabr Al-Azeeby as new Divisional Vice President in the UK.
A UAE national, Al-Azeeby has worked at Emirates for over 15 years and has previously served as VP for India, Pakistan, and more recently, VP of Commercial Operations in Saudi Arabia.
He reports to Thierry Aucoc, SVP, Commercial Operations Europe.
Al-Azeeby succeeded Richard Jewsbury, who has moved to take up the Dubai-based role of Executive VP Corporate and Customer Experience Planning.
Over the past six years, Jewsbury led Emirates’ sales and service functions in the UK.
“The United Kingdom is one of Emirates’ most important operations, and I’m looking forward to working closely with the team locally to continue the momentum of the past few years,” said Al-Azeeby.
“The move to London is very exciting and I’m thrilled to have this opportunity as well as any challenges that arise.”
It comes as the airline gears up to resume daily operations to Edinburgh starting from 4 November.
The airline’s Edinburgh resumption marks Emirates’ eighth destination in the UK.
Emirates currently serves the UK with 133 weekly flights on a fleet mix of A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft.
