Jens Fehlinger is set to become the new CEO of Swiss, a subsidiary of Lufthansa Group. Fehlinger will take over the role starting October 1st, replacing Heike Birlenbach who will serve as the interim leader. Despite being from outside Switzerland, Fehlinger has extensive experience in the aviation industry and was previously responsible for building up Lufthansa City Airlines before taking on his new role at Swiss.
As Switzerland’s aviation industry welcomes its new CEO, there are concerns about the impact of increased flights on climate change. However, Swiss is determined to maintain its premium brand image while offering competitive prices and expanding its domestic flights. Fehlinger will need to navigate these challenges while also improving customer service and enhancing the travel experience.
Fehlinger’s background as a commercial pilot and his experience in the industry will be instrumental in leading Swiss through these developments. As a relatively young executive, he has a long career ahead of him and is positioned to make a significant impact in the aviation industry.
Swiss’s upcoming introduction of new aircraft and enhanced services such as premium economy class and new first-class cabins will further solidify its position as a leading airline. Fehlinger’s task will be to leverage these opportunities while upholding Swiss’s unique brand identity and value proposition. With his expertise and leadership skills, he is well-positioned to lead Switzerland’s aviation industry into a successful future.
