Cargo Network Services (CNS) announces that its’ Board has appointed Alicia Lines as president, a role she has held ad interim since April 2024. As President of CNS, she will be responsible for the management of the company and for its strategic development.
“Alicia demonstrated her leadership qualities when she was asked to assume the responsibilities for CNS at short notice earlier this year. Hence it is no doubt the right decision to make this appointment permanent. We look forward to further building and strengthening our working relationship with her, as we ensure that CNS remains ready to support the air cargo industry in the USA, at a time where demand remains high and digitalization is key in transforming and improving the sector”, said Nick Careen, IATA’s Senior Vice President Operations, Safety and Security and member of the CNS Board.
Alicia began her career in aviation more than 23 years ago as the International Air Transport’s Association’s (IATA) Country Manager for the Western Caribbean. Following her transfer to the association’s regional office for the Americas in Miami, she held posts both in Human Resources and the Regional Vice President’s Office. She was promoted to Regional Director Financial and Distribution Services seven years ago, overseeing, amongst others, the financial settlement systems for both passenger (BSP) and cargo (CASS) sales in the Americas. Since April 2024 Alica also assumed the additional responsibility for the regional cargo operations and interim CNS President.
Operating solely in the United States of America, CNS develops and distributes programs and services to all providers of air cargo operating in that market, supporting them in achieving their respective business strategies. Furthermore, CNS aims to foster an environment of professionalism, innovation and mutual respect and understanding of each other’s challenges across the air cargo value chain.
