FASTJET has appointed Sylvain Bosc as the airline’s new chief commercial officer.
Sylvain’s credentials include tenures as chief commercial officer at both SAA and French airline, Corsair. He also worked as group strategic planner for the Air France KLM group and held several key commercial positions at Air France earlier in his career.
He joins ceo, Nico Bezuidenhout’s team to rebuild, restructure and redevelop the business. Sylvain says he is looking forward to working for an airline that has adopted the concept of a truly pan-African LCC, which plans to make air travel accessible to the second-most-populous continent after Asia, as it presents both a commercial and socio-economic opportunity.
“There has been a marked stimulation of tourism and trade growth in markets where fastjet operates. Typically, aviation fulfils a significant role in the development of these two sectors and in empowering the public who have not had the opportunity to fly before,” he says.
Nico is enthusiastic about the new team of top talents he is assembling and believes that it reflects the direction of the airline’s business. He says Sylvain’s appointment will go a long way to re-establish a solid and formidable commercial foundation for the airline.
