China Airlines is rebuilding its sales and marketing team in Vienna around the experienced industry expert Joachim Trauner.

For the last 5 years, the enthusiastic aviation fan has worked as Country Manager for Germany & Austria at the largest private Russian airline "S7 Airlines". At China Airlines he will now be responsible for sales and marketing in Austria and for GSA support in the CEE countries.

Trauner started his career in 2002 with Tyrolean Airways at Linz Airport. Via Austrian Airlines in the former Ekaterinburg city office in Russia, he then went to Vienna to NIKI. At NIKI's parent company airberlin, he was responsible for corporate customer business from Berlin. This also brought him to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi to expand the global business customer segment there.
