Maris Kuklis has been appointed senior sales manager, and will work alongside fellow senior sales manager Claire Herbert to develop JetBlue’s trade partnerships and sales. Kuklis joins JetBlue from Etihad Airways where he oversaw trade sales for the Gulf carrier’s leisure and MICE markets.
His appointment comes as JetBlue prepares to launch Gatwick-Boston and Heathrow-Boston services in September. It currently operates daily to New York JFK from Gatwick and Heathrow, with the Gatwick service to expand to twice-daily in late-October.
