Raffaele Martingano
Sales Director for GE Aerospace in Dubai
After having spent 13 years with GE Aerospace, what I cherish most is the opportunity to build strong, long-term relationships with airlines across the Middle East.
I am responsible for overseeing all commercial activities related to both new aircraft engines and maintenance services across several countries in the Middle East, including Pakistan, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, and the northern Emirates of the UAE. My role helps me foster strong relationships that facilitate true collaboration.
By working closely with technical and engineering teams, we tailor our offerings to suit each airline's specific fleet requirements. We help them enhance performance and reduce costs by leveraging GE Aerospace’s innovative and reliable solutions, while staying true to our commitment to efficiency and reliability.
