Gatwick Airport has appointed Jonathan Pollard as chief commercial officer.
He will join in September and will be responsible for driving forward the airport’s airline relations, retail, restaurants and other commercial revenue streams, including car parking and property portfolios.
He was previously the commercial director at Luton Airport.
He holds a BSc in Air Transport Management from Loughborough University and joined National Express Group as a graduate in 2005, going on to hold several executive roles, including commercial director of the coach division business.
Gatwick CEO Stewart Wingate said: "Jonathan joins us in what are unprecedented times and his experience and success driving vital revenue streams and developing new business will be critical in helping Gatwick rebuild and grow as the airport enters a new chapter in its history".
Pollard said: "We are inevitably experiencing difficult times, but the aviation industry has proven its resilience in the past and this will likely be no exception as long as we adapt quickly to changes in consumer behaviour and passenger processes. I am looking forward to embracing this challenge with the Gatwick Executive and my wider team and driving forward our commercial offering."
