Emirates Appoints Divisional SVP Commercial Operations - Centre

Sheikh Majid Al Mualla has been appointed as Emirates Airline’s Divisional Senior Vice President (DSVP) Commercial Operations - Centre.

His geographical responsibilities now cover the Gulf, Middle East, Iran, as well as West Asia.

Sheikh Majid joined Emirates as a management trainee in 1996 after graduation from the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida.

Sheikh Majid’s current projects include overseeing the newly-launched Kabul route and the start of A380 services to Mauritius, effective 16 December 2013. The airline operated a one-off A380 service to Mauritius earlier this year.
