American Airlines Chief Commercial Officer Vasu Raja Departs

Former Executive Oversaw American's Global Network and Customer Organization

Raja's Departure Comes Amidst Leadership Changes at the Airline

Vasu Raja, the Chief Commercial Officer of American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL), is leaving the company, the airline announced on May 28, 2024. Raja has been with American Airlines for 20 years and has overseen the company's global network and customer organization.

Raja's departure comes amidst a series of leadership changes at American Airlines. In March, the company announced that its CEO, Doug Parker, would be stepping down in May. Parker will be replaced by Robert Isom, who is currently the airline's president.

American Airlines has not yet announced who will replace Raja as Chief Commercial Officer. The airline said it will conduct a search for a new executive to lead its commercial operations.

Raja's departure is a significant loss for American Airlines. He is a well-respected executive who has played a key role in the company's success. Raja's departure is likely to add to the uncertainty at American Airlines as the company undergoes a period of transition.
