Neel Shah (right), is to take over as vice-president cargo, for Delta Airlines, effective 14 January.
Shah will assume day-to-day oversight of Delta Cargo from Ben Darnell, Delta's managing director cargo, who has decided to leave the company after 22 years of service and will report directly to president Ed Bastian.
"Delta's ability to operate service to more worldwide destinations than any other airline has created a strong platform from which to build Delta Cargo into one of the world's most extensive airline freight operations," Bastian said. "Neel's knowledge, industry experience and leadership acumen make him an ideal choice for growing Delta's cargo revenues and brand equity in this new role, and we are pleased to welcome him to the Delta team."
Shah comes from United Airlines Cargo, sits on the Air Transport Association's Executive Cargo Council and is a board member of Cargo 2000. |
