“I’ve learned the air cargo industry inside and out because I’ve been at it for 18 years,” says Dones, reflecting on his new position. “This is an exciting opportunity for me to build upon Air Partner’s stellar reputation in air cargo business and grow the company’s clientele for shipments to Asia and other regions around the world.”
