Kyle Mabry is the new head vice president of global sales at American Airlines.
Mabry is assuming many of the responsibilities that had been held by Alison Taylor, who was promoted in June from senior vice president of global sales and distribution to her current position as chief customer officer.

Mabry previously held the title of global head of leisure, groups and middle-market sales for American. He will continue to report to Taylor.
"Kyle brings a rare combination of outstanding industry knowledge, business acumen and genuine care for customers and team members," Taylor said in a statement.
This report was updated to remove news that Neil Geurin will be taking over Alison Taylor’s distribution portfolio. He had already been responsible for managing distribution prior to Mabry's promotion.
