Private jet charter network makes new appointments and announces 100th French customer
Online, June 18, 2013 (Newswire.com) - PrivateFly.com has announced an expansion to its French operation, with a number of new French-speaking appointments in its team. The private jet charter network already has a dedicated French language website www.privatefly.fr, and recently served its 100th French customer.
The new team members include two operations assistants: Julien Molinet, who previously worked in communications at Air France; and Davide Paladino, who has a private banking and aviation background. Both will report to PrivateFly's Operations Controller Mehdi Dialmy, who joined the company in September to head up the company's French operation. Dialmy also previously worked for Air France and has a master's degree in Aerospace Management.
The company has also appointed Astrid Arminjon as digital marketing executive. Arminjon brings both French and English marketing experience to PrivateFly's marketing team, including a role at football club Olympique Lyonnais. She will focus on extending PrivateFly's reach to new customers in France and on content development for its French website.
Adam Twidell, CEO of PrivateFly.com, comments as follows: "We are delighted to welcome Astrid, Julien and Davide to the team, along with Mehdi who joined us last year to lead our French operation.
"France is one of Europe's top three private aviation markets and we recently celebrated a small milestone of our 100th French customer. With our extended French team now on board, we have ambitious growth plans for both customers and partners in the region."
