George Ettiyil is new Senior Director, Sales, South Asia of Lufthansa Group Airlines

Lufthansa Group Airlines has appointed George Ettiyil as its new Senior Director, Sales, South Asia. He will be responsible for all commercial activities of the Lufthansa Group Airlines, including Lufthansa German Airlines, Swiss, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Ettiyil has held several key positions within the Lufthansa Group for more than 20 years. For the last few years, he served as Head of Global Sales Products and Programs for the Lufthansa Group Hub Airlines. Prior to this position at the Lufthansa headquarters in Frankfurt, he was responsible for the management of different stations and the field of business controlling in Germany and India. 

Alain Chisari, Vice-President Sales Lufthansa Group Airlines Asia Pacific, said, “We are pleased to have George Ettiyil on board in India. His experience within different departments of the Lufthansa Group, combined with his know-how of the local business and culture, are a valuable asset for our Group in Asia Pacific. I am convinced that he will play a relevant role in driving our company’s success in South Asia.”

“I am very much looking forward to be back in one of the most important markets for the Lufthansa Group and to actively participate in one of the fastest growing industries in the country,” said Ettiyil.

“Together with a strong team, we will continue to drive innovation and digitalisation to serve not only our B2C but also B2B customers in South Asia better.”

Wolfgang Will, Senior Director, who was in the position previously, will leave India after five years. He will take his expertise to Lufthansa’s headquarters in Frankfurt and take over the responsibility for a strategically important project in the B2B sales department.

Lufthansa Group and its carriers Lufthansa and Swiss currently offer 58 flights from four Indian gateways, namely Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru and Colombo (Sri Lanka), connecting 343 destinations in more than 100 countries via its European hubs of Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich.
