In a statement, Jettainer said Krishnaswamy is responsible for Jettainer's customers and growth in the region and for the cool&fly product in his newly created position as general manager for the Middle East, Africa, & Indian subcontinent.

Krishnaswamy has almost 30 years of aviation experience working for leading airlines from Europe, the Gulf region and India.

He began his career as a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines cargo manager in 1992.

Krishnaswamy spent over ten years with the Netherlands' national airline in various cargo and passenger positions before joining Gulf Air as Area Manager in Abu Dhabi.

He later worked at Jet Airways, where he held several senior positions, contributing to the international expansion of the Indian airline.

Since 2019, Krishnaswamy has been overseeing the cargo business of Air Arabia Group as General Manager of Cargo.

Krishnaswamy joins Jettainer to serve regional customers, like Etihad and Oman Air, and to develop further Jettainer's business in the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent.

Globally, he assumes ownership of Jettainer’s cool&fly service.

Jettainer noted that its Temperature Control Competence Center in Abu Dhabi specializes in the management of refrigerated containers and acts as a central service point for customers worldwide.

Its team of experts has enabled customers such as Lufthansa Cargo, American Airlines, Delta Cargo and Etihad Cargo to run their cool container transports smoothly for several years.

This is particularly important since transporting temperature-sensitive goods by air freight requires precise planning and implementation among all participants within the supply chain.

Jettainer said under Krishnaswamy's leadership, the product will be further developed to meet the high demands of customers and market demands.

"We are delighted to have Ram, a highly experienced aviation specialist, on board at Jettainer. He has both outstanding business insights and excellent contacts in the region as well as global experience. Therefore, he understands the market dynamics very well."

"We also believe that the region and the cool business have great potential as the pharmaceutical sector is one of the fastest-growing industries. We are looking forward to growing our business with new and existing customers," said Thomas Sonntag, CEO of Jettainer GmbH.
