Lufthansa Cargo says CCO Alexis Hoensbroech to take on the reins of Austrian Airlines

April 12, 2018: Alexis von Hoensbroech, current chief commercial officer of Lufthansa Cargo, is to take helm at Austrian Airlines as the new chairman from August 1, 2018. He has been in charge of the Product and Sales division since December 2014.

Dorothea von Boxberg, currently vice president Global Sales Management at Lufthansa Cargo, will succeed Von Hoensbroech, from August 1 this year. In this new role, she will be responsible for the external organisation of sales and handling, revenue management, pricing, network planning and sales management worldwide.

Her current responsibilities include Global Performance Management, Pricing, Airmail, Product Management and Sales Processes.

It will still be necessary for the respective supervisory boards to approve these proposals.

“I am pleased to propose to the Supervisory Board Dorothea von Boxberg as the successor to Alexis von Hoensbroech, who is currently serving as chief commercial officer of Lufthansa Cargo. Her extensive management experience in strategy, product development and sales is an optimal prerequisite for this task,” said Harry Hohmeister, chairman of the Supervisory Board of Lufthansa Cargo.

From 1999 to 2005, she worked for consulting firm The Boston Consulting Group in Stuttgart, most recently as project manager. In 2005, Dorothea von Boxberg took a position at Star Alliance, where she was responsible for Alliance Development. She joined Deutsche Lufthansa AG in 2007 and headed the ‘Strategy and Investments’ division of Lufthansa Passage from 2009. Subsequently, she assumed several management positions in Product Management at Lufthansa Passage. In 2015, von Boxberg transferred to Lufthansa Cargo and has headed Global Sales Management since then.
