Earlier this week, Air France announced Jean-Claude Cros as the new vice president and general manager for Air France. Like his predecessor, Marie-Joseph Malé, Cros will be based in New York. This is a promotion for Cros, as he has spent more than 15 years with the airline in a variety of positions. As vice president and general manager for the United States, Cros will oversee the carrier's largest division outside of France, leading 800 employees. His responsibilities include operations, sales and marketing and communications, among other duties. Visit [www.airfrance.com].
