Air Serbia names new CEO
NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia has announced that Duncan Naysmith has decided to step down from his post as the company's Chief Commercial Officer after four years and will pursue a new career opportunity with another airline. He will be replaced from January 1, 2022 by the airline’s current General Manager for Commercial and Strategy Jiri Marek (pictured). Mr Marek brings more than twenty years of airline management experience. During the last thirteen years he has held senior roles within multiple carriers. The Chairman of the Air Serbia Supervisory Board, Branislav Pejčić, said, “On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I extend my personal thanks to Duncan Naysmith, who had been navigating the company through a successful transformation program enabling the growth of Air Serbia in 2019. Unfortunately, this outstanding path had been disrupted by outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. I appreciate his dedication, effort and leadership during the current pandemic, steering Air Serbia through unprecedented turbulent times”. He added, “Jiri Marek had been leading network expansion and commercial transformation, delivering record breaking results at the end of 2019, which included the transport of 2.8 million passengers, continued by double digit growth in first two months of 2020. Air Serbia had been continuously outperforming aviation industry averages ever since during the pandemic and promptly reacted to new market opportunities. He is an experienced leader and has the complete confidence of the Board to lead the business throughout its recovery and development phase”. Mr Marek becomes Air Serbia’s third CEO since its relaunch in 2013, following Dane Kondić and Duncan Naysmith.
