He joined us live from Heathrow’s Terminal 5 for the FF Virtual Arena, where he filled us in on Wizz Air’s recent announcement of accepting American Express. The move is strategic decision on Wizz Air’s part to eliminate barriers for business travellers and tap into new customer segments.

With more than two decades of experience in aviation, Malin’s careers in aircraft financing, supply chain operations, and leadership roles in airline management. After years of working with the company as a partner, he joined Wizz Air as he was inspired by Wizz Air’s incredible growth and operational commitment.
