New SunExpress chief looks to build on solid foundations

Marcus Schnabel has assumed the role of chief executive at SunExpress, aiming to leverage a stable base following initial market challenges stemming from the Iran conflict. The carrier’s previous leadership, spearheaded by Max Kownatzki who began his tenure in early 2020, navigated the industry through a period of crisis due to the global pandemic's impact. Schnabel emphasizes a flexible strategy focused on “sustainable growth” for the airline. This approach reflects an understanding of the evolving aviation landscape and seeks to capitalize on improved conditions. SunExpress is currently positioned to build upon previously established foundations as it moves forward.
