By admin


Etihad has appointed Vincent Frascogna as its new Perth-based manager Western Australia as it prepares for the launch of daily services between Abu Dhabi and the WA capital on July 15.

Frascogna moves to Perth following five years at the airline’s Abu Dhabi headquarters, where has held the position of head of commercial development for the last four years.

Chief commercial officer Peter Baumgartner said the airline was “delighted” Frascogna had been appointed to Australia in time for the launch of its new Perth services.

“Perth is an important market for Etihad Airways and Vincent has a wealth of commercial management experience and the right credentials to accelerate the growth of our business there,” he said.

Frascogna welcomed the opportunity to move to Perth for the launch of the new services where he will work with industry and community partners to “raise the profile of Etihad Airways and Abu Dhabi”.
