Coogan assumes the position with 25 years of industry experience.
Reporting to Director Sales U.K. and Ireland, Karolien De Hertogh, Coogan is responsible for managing United’s overall corporate business strategy.
Her appointment coincides with expansion for United.
Last week, the airline introduced a second daily flight between London Heathrow and Los Angeles.
United is also scheduled to introduce a new daily non-stop seasonal service between Shannon and Chicago O’Hare, starting 26 May 2023.
It complements the summer seasonal daily service from Shannon to New York/Newark, starting this week.
The airline will also add a second daily flight from Dublin to New York/Newark,
“We are delighted to appoint Martina,” said Karolien De Hertogh, Director Sales UK and Ireland.
” Martina is a highly respected and well-established leader with a proven track record in the industry.”
Coogan joined United in 2017 as Country Sales Manager Ireland and Northern Ireland, based in Dublin, with her role gradually expanding to include Scotland.
Prior to United, Coogan initially worked for a number of airlines in business development and later moved to Travelport Digital.
