A UAE national, Jabr Al-Azeeby (above) has worked at Emirates for over 15 years and has previously served as VP for India, Pakistan and more recently, VP of Commercial Operations in Saudi Arabia. He reports to Thierry Aucoc, Senior Vice President Commercial Operations Europe.
Al-Azeeby will succeed incumbent Richard Jewsbury, who first joined Emirates in 2005 and has served in multiple roles across the business. Over the past six years, Richard successfully led Emirates’ sales and service functions across the airline’s commercial, customer and cargo operations across the UK. In March, Richard moved to take up the Dubai-based role of Executive VP Corporate and Customer Experience Planning.
“The United Kingdom is one of Emirates’ most important operations, and I’m looking forward to working closely with the team locally to continue the momentum of the past few years, as well as bringing my experience of the Middle East market to the region,” said Al-Azeeby. “The move to London is very exciting and I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to immerse myself in the opportunities as well as any challenges that arise.”
Jabr Al-Azeeby joins Emirates UK as the airline gears up to resume daily operations to Edinburgh starting from 4th November.
The airline’s resumption to the Scottish city will be Emirates’ eighth destination in the UK. Emirates’ extensive network spans to more than 130 destinations, across six continents. The airline currently serves the UK with 133 weekly flights utilising a fleet mix of A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft.
