Stefan Schaffner is now the Senior Vice President of SITA AT AIRPORTS, while Sergiy Nevstruyev has taken on the role of Senior Vice President of SITA Global Services (SGS). In their respective positions, both Stefan and Sergiy bring extensive management experience from the travel, transport, and mobility technologies sectors.

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.”
Stefan 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.”

Around the world, airports and airlines depend on us to ensure their infrastructure is robust and reliable, day in and day out. At this time of transformation, I look forward to applying my knowledge of the complexities of delivery and IT strategy to help reshape SITA’s service management and optimize the tools supporting this.”SOURCE: SITA Names New Senior Vice Presidents SITA has recently made two important senior appointments.
