Estonian Air’s Supervisory Council nominated a new Management Board member

The Supervisory Council of Estonian Air has nominated Indrek Randveer, who has a long-term sales and management experience, to take the position of CCO and Management Board member of Estonian Air as from 19 may 2014. Estonian Air’s Management Board has three members including Jan Palmèr, the CEO, Wade Stokes, the CFO and Indrek Randveer, the CCO.

Jan Palmér, the CEO of Estonian Air: “I am very happy that the position is taken by a local senior specialist who has long-term experience in business and entrepreneurship.

In addition, he will work in tight cooperation with travel agencies, develop regular customer relations and improve ancillary service to ensure customer satisfaction and revenue growth.

I will do my best to turn Estonian Air into profitable airline already in the nearest future, and ensure customers will reach their desired destination conveniently, on time, safely and in suitable time. As a regional airline we should offer Estonians important destinations and be able to offer the shortest time to connecting flights.“
