Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (AAWW) (Nasdaq: AAWW), a
leading provider of global air cargo services, today announced that
Polar Air Cargo Worldwide, Inc. (Polar) has hired Thomas Betenia as
Vice President Sales and Marketing, Americas, effective January 7,
2008. Mr. Betenia, who will be based in Purchase, NY, comes to Polar
from Lufthansa Cargo AG, most recently as Director of Sales and
Handling for the U.S. Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
At Polar, Mr. Betenia will oversee all sales and marketing
activities in the Americas. This will include building on Polar's
existing business with its scheduled-service customers while
leveraging the Company's added express capabilities on behalf of
current and prospective customers. As part of its commercial agreement
with DHL Express, Polar will begin offering express service for DHL in
October, 2008, requiring close network and geographic integration.
Michael Steen, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer,
AAWW, said, "Over the past several months, we have been shaping a
strengthened global sales and marketing structure within Polar that
will focus on supporting and delivering new value to our customers.
With 27 years in the industry, Tom is the ideal person to share and
articulate Polar's value proposition with customers, and to grow our
existing business and cultivate new business in the Americas. I look
forward to working closely with Tom, and everyone in our entire global
sales and marketing network."
Mr. Betenia, 47, joined Lufthansa Cargo AG in 1980. During his
first 15 years there, he held positions of increasing responsibility
in areas as diverse as accounting, flight operations, network
planning, and sales and marketing.
In 1995, Mr. Betenia was appointed their General Manager at
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), overseeing the
merging of two Lufthansa Cargo regions, the U.S. Southeast and
Southwest. In 1998, he also assumed responsibility for Florida, the
Caribbean, and Central America. He was then appointed Director of
Sales, U.S. Northeast, Midwest, and Canada in 2004, and was
responsible for 12 Lufthansa Cargo stations. In 2006, sales and
handling were merged, when he assumed his most recent position.
Randy Clark, Chief Operating Officer, Polar Air Cargo Worldwide,
Inc., said, "Our operations in the Americas get a huge lift from the
addition of Tom to Polar. We have planned for scheduling and staffing
to accommodate the high-quality, high-reliability service required in
the express business. At the same time, we will continue to serve our
freight-forwarder customers with convenient schedules on existing
routes. Tom's experience will benefit both our express and scheduled
service operations."
