Air Niugini Appoints New Regional Sales Manager

Air Niugini has appointed Robin Taman as the new regional sales manager to look after its business operations in the New Guinea Islands region.
Chief executive officer Simon Foo said Mr Taman was a career officer, having worked with the national carrier for 25 years.
He started his Air Niugini career in 1992 as a domestic check in officer, and then moved to ramp, traffic and sales before he was appointed port manager.
For the last 10 years, he managed Air Niugini’s office in Moro, Southern Highlands serving mining clients.
“Robin is a very experienced staff member and with his new appointment, we are confident that he can manage the regional sales performance and bring the sales target to the next level,” Mr Foo said.
Mr Taman said Rabaul was one of Air Niugini’s major domestic ports linking the rest of the NGI region, handling more than 70 flights a week.
He says the role requires full commitment and dedication to achieve the company’s goals and objectives and he is confident of taking up the challenge.
“Good leadership is needed to lead and guide our staff at both the sales office and the airport so that we provide quality customer services and at the same time meet Air Niugini’s goals,” Mr Taman said.
This is a big shoe for me to fill but with GOD nothing is impossible.”
Apart from Rabaul he will be overseeing Air Niugini’s sales operations in Hoskins, Buka, Kavieng and Manus, managing sales performances, creating and maintaining a high level sales culture focused on delivering results by providing ongoing coaching and development of support staff.
He was Sales and Airport Manager at Gurney airport, MilneBay prior to his new appointment.
