The Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) announced that Peter Cerdá, current vice president for the Americas of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), will assume the position of executive director and CEO of the organization as of March 15.
This is because José Ricardo Botelho, who joined ALTA in June 2020, will conclude his term in office amid a challenging period. Under his leadership, ALTA experienced significant growth, skillfully navigating the turbulence of the pandemic and achieving a series of milestones that have elevated commercial aviation in the region.
