Hahn Air has appointed Arsenio (Zen) Cabanilla Jr.
as Regional Vice President Agency Distribution for
Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines and
Thailand.
In his new position, he will assist travel agents in
those
markets on how to use Hahn Air’s ticketing solutions to increase
sales and will provide support with training,
presentations, sales and marketing activities, as well as developing strategic
alliances with the local trade.
“We are happy to
welcome Arsenio to the team,” said Kimberley Long, Vice President
Agency Distribution. “He complements our team of sales experts
perfectly and he works closely with Regional Vice President Agency
Distribution An Ngo who is responsible for East Asia and Vietnam. Arsenio has a very broad background in tourism which will allow
him to assume various perspectives and bring in fresh ideas. He
will be an asset for our agency partners and for Hahn Air.”
Arsenio has seven years of experience in sales and client service
management (B2B and B2C) with a focus on business development, key
account management and product marketing.
His experience in
tourism includes positions at Legend Hotels International,

Arsenio speaks
Filipino and English and has Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism
Management from the Polytechnic University of Philippines.
“Having worked in the tourism
sector for several years, I am of course familiar with Hahn Air
and its distribution solutions for travel agencies and airlines.
But I also understand the needs of travel agencies and OTAs with
regards to selling flights through GDS,” said Arsenio Cabanilla Jr.
“I am very
excited to join the team and communicate the Hahn Air benefits to
travel agents so that together we can support them in growing
their revenues.”
Hahn Air provides over
100,000 travel agencies in 190 markets with access to the flights
of more than 350 partner airlines via the HR-169 ticket. It also
allows them to choose from a great variety of payment options and
enables them to book over 90 carriers under the codes X1 and H1
that would otherwise be not available through GDS.
