Adil Al Ghaith will become responsible for Bahrain, in addition to his existing portfolio as vice-president, Saudi Arabia. Reema Al Marzooqi, manager Bahrain, will now report into him. This is a result of the very close relationship between the two customer markets.

Abbas A Haji will be posted as vice-president, Iran and Central Asia, moving from his current position of vice-president, Cargo Commercial Development.

Mustafa Al Jabri will be posted as Manager Tunisia, moving from his current country manager position in Iran.

In March 2012, Emirates upgraded its frequency and aircraft serving Tunis to become a daily service with an Airbus A340-500.

Omar Al Banna will become manager Jordan, moving from a similar position in Tunisia. Emirates has been flying double daily to Jordan since October 1, boosting accessibility to one of the most popular tourism destinations in the Middle East.

The management changes take effect from November 1.

Emirates has been flying to Jordan since 1986, Saudi Arabia since 1989, Iran as of 1990, Bahrain since 2000 and flights to Tunis started in 2006.

With a fleet of 188 fuel-efficient aircraft, the multi-award winning carrier flies to 126 destinations across six continents.

A380 to Athens

Meanwhile Emirates will operate the first ever A380 scheduled service into Athens.

Touching down at Athens International Airport on October 26, will mark a significant milestone for Emirates and its operations in Greece.

“On June 1996, Emirates launched our inaugural flight to Greece. Some 16 years later we will operate our award-winning A380 service into Athens International Airport proving the company’s commitment to Greece,” said Richard Jewsbury, senior vice-president Commercial Europe and Russian Federation.
