Penseel said: “It is an honour to take the helm at SkyTeam Cargo as the alliance approaches its 25th anniversary year. There are exciting developments ahead for SkyTeam Cargo, and I look forward to working with a world-class network of like-minded cargo carriers as we strive to take our global offering to new heights.”

Zebitz said. “SkyTeam Cargo leads the industry in delivering an extensive global network and product portfolio underpinned by a commitment to seamless service. I wish Peter all the very best for his tenure and look forward to seeing SkyTeam Cargo’s future growth and success.”

Patrick Roux, SkyTeam chief executive, said: “Peter’s extensive experience in air cargo will be a tremendous asset to our alliance and its members as we work to strengthen our position as the world’s only cargo alliance.

“I would also like to sincerely thank Teddy for his exceptional leadership; his expertise and knowledge have greatly benefited SkyTeam Cargo, particularly as our member airlines navigated the many challenges of the pandemic.”
