DENVER, October 02, 2012 -
Frontier Airlines today announced the appointment of Amit Agarwal as
chief information officer of the Denver-based carrier. Frontier also
announced the departure of Cliff Van Leuven, the airline’s vice
president of customer service since 2004. Jan Fogelberg, currently
Frontier’s vice president of commercial technology, will assume the role
of vice president of customer service.
An experienced airline, planning and technology professional, Agarwal
brings 20 years of industry experience to the position. Most recently,
he served as senior vice president of corporate development and planning
for Kingfisher Airlines based in Mumbai, where he focused on working
with investors in recapitalization and restructuring.
In a previous role with Delta Air Lines, Inc., Agarwal helped manage the
financial and operational turnaround of the airline. His efforts helped
lead to $1 billion in revenue benefits through route and fleet
utilization.
Agarwal holds a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from the National
Institute of Technology in Bhopal, and a master’s in operations research
and statistics from the University of Texas in Austin, Texas.
“We are very excited to welcome Agarwal aboard,” said David Siegel,
president and chief executive officer of Frontier. “He has a broad depth
of airline technology knowledge and has the proven aptitude to help
guide Frontier as we move forward.”
Fogelberg has been with Frontier for nine years in roles of increasing
responsibility in reservations, system policies and procedures and
operations, where she served as senior director of stations with
responsibilities over operations in the more than 60 cities served by
Frontier in three countries. Prior to joining Frontier, Fogelberg spent
time at Continental Airlines.
“We are sad to see Cliff go and, on behalf of Frontier’s 4,500 plus
employees, I wish him the best of luck in his new endeavor,” said
Siegel. “I am pleased to say that Jan is the ideal person to fill the
vice president of customer service role. Her invaluable experience
working with a number of different operating groups at Frontier,
combined with her proven experience with the customer service team in
her role as senior director of stations, gives her the unique ability to
take the helm of our customer service team at this critical juncture.”
