SITA has announced the appointments of Stefan Schaffner as senior vice president of SITA AT AIRPORTS, and Sergiy Nevstruyev as senior vice president of SITA Global Services (SGS).
SITA said the men “bring a wealth of management experience in the travel, transport, and mobility technologies sectors”.
Schaffner will be responsible for transforming SITA’s airport portfolio to meet what SITA said was a growing demand for digitalisation and automation.
Prior to joining SITA, he was responsible for preparing Touchless Biometric Systems AG (TBS) for global rollout as its CEO.
Schaffner said: “I am excited to be joining SITA, an established partner innovating within the air transport industry. We see airports are increasingly investing in technology to improve the passenger experience and streamline operations. Supporting this demand with robust solutions will be a key focus in 2024 and beyond.”
Nevstruyev will oversee the daily management of SITA’s critical infrastructure for around 2,500 airline, airport, ground handler and related customers.
He will also play a key role in SITA’s transformation, responsible for optimising SITA’s IT landscape.
David Lavorel, CEO SITA, said: “I am delighted to welcome Stefan and Sergiy to the executive management team. They each bring abundant experience in diverse facets of the global travel, transport, and IT industry.
“I look forward to the valuable new perspectives they will provide to shape our growth strategy in two of the most vital pillars of our business: our airport offerings and our approach to the customer experience.”
