FASTJET has appointed
Sylvain Bosc as the
airline’s new chief
commercial officer.
Sylvain’s credentials include
tenures as chief commercial
officer at both SAA and
French airline, Corsair.
He also worked as group
strategic planner for the
Air France KLM group and
held several key commercial
positions at Air France earlier
in his career.
He joins ceo, Nico
Bezuidenhout’s team to
rebuild, restructure and
redevelop the business.
Sylvain says he is looking
forward to working for an
airline that has adopted the
concept of a truly
pan-African LCC,
which plans to
make air travel
accessible to
the secondmost-populous
continent after
Asia, as it
presents both a
commercial and
socio-economic
opportunity.
“There has
been a marked
stimulation of tourism and
trade growth in markets
where fastjet operates.
Typically, aviation fulfils
a significant role in the
development of these two
sectors and in
empowering the
public who have
not had the
opportunity to fly
before,” he says.
Nico is
enthusiastic about
the new team of
top talents he
is assembling
and believes
that it reflects
the direction
of the airline’s
business. He says Sylvain’s
appointment will go a long
way to re-establish a
solid and formidable
commercial foundation
for the airline.
