Etihad Cargo has announced a strategic restructure of its European commercial team into five areas which is claims will drive deeper customer alignment, streamline regional support and reinforce its position across key markets.

The five new European regions led by Rainer Krammer, regional manager Europe and Americas, include: a Southwest Europe region covering France, Spain, and Portugal led by Eric Lamare, the newly-appointed area manager based in Paris; a UK and Ireland region led by Michael Mackenzie; a Northwest Europe region covering Belgium, Netherlands and Denmark led by Karim Grinate; a Central Europe region covering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland led by Karim Rakkrouki; and a South East Europe region covering Italy, Poland, Czech Republic and Greece led by Lorenzo Donato.
