Chapman Freeborn appoints Vilma Vaitiekunaite to Saudi Arabia leadership team
Chapman Freeborn has appointed Vilma Vaitiekunaite as vice president, Passenger, for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Vaitiekunaite brings over 20 years of experience in commercial aviation, sales, marketing and corporate communications. She joins the charter firm from her position as CEO of Skyllence, an international air charter brokerage within Avia Solutions Group — also the parent of Chapman Freeborn.
Linas Dovydenas, president, IMEA, at Chapman Freeborn, said: “Vilma brings not only deep industry knowledge, but also an intimate and comprehensive understanding of the Avia Solutions Group ecosystem. This, combined with her expertise in passenger aviation and her relentless dedication to client service, makes her an ideal addition to our team in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
Prior to Skyllence, Vaitiekunaite served as chief communications officer at Avia Solutions Group. In that role, she worked closely with the group’s chairman and founder, Gediminas Ziemelis.
“I’m incredibly honoured to join and take on this new challenge in one of the most dynamic aviation markets in the world,” said Vaitiekunaite. “Saudi Arabia is at the forefront of transformation, and I look forward to contributing to that momentum by continuing to deliver tailored, client-centric air charter solutions with the excellence our customers expect.”
A global multipurpose aviation holding company with 76 subsidiaries, Avia Solutions Group completed its acquisition of UK-founded Chapman Freeborn in October 2019.
