Sherilyn Robinson gets Hawaiian Airlines post
Popular industry personality Sherilyn Robinson has been appointed Sales and Marketing Manager, Australia, for Hawaiian Airlines, commencing in Sydney on 04 February.
Sherilyn was previously Director of Sales for Captain Cook Cruises, a role she has held since 2004 with prior roles including National Sales and Marketing Manager, Australia, for Air Pacific, International Sales Manager for Concorde Inbound and Account Manager, Australia and New Zealand, for Americantours International Inc, based in Los Angeles.
Col Hughes, Managing Director of World Aviation Systems – Hawaiian’s general sales agency in Australia – said Ms Robinson was joining the airline at an exciting time, as the Australia – Hawaii holiday market was booming.
“Sherilyn brings to this role 15 years of experience in leisure sales and marketing, at a time when Hawaii continues to grow in popularity, and Hawaiian Airlines continues to meet demand for travel from throughout Australia,” said Mr Hughes.
Dan Burruss, Senior Director, International and Alliances for Hawaiian Airlines, said Hawaii was now one of the top international holiday destinations for Australian travellers, with many combining a Hawaiian holiday with a visit to the US mainland.
“Not only do we offer nonstop service from Sydney to Honolulu, and onward flights to the neighbour islands of Maui, Kauai and the big Island of Hawaii – we also offer one-stop service from Australia to nine mainland destinations including Las Vegas, San Diego and Seattle.”
“We welcome Sherilyn aboard as our airline enters a new phase of growth, and as competition intensifies to attract Australian travellers.” “In addition to 15 years experience in travel sales and marketing, Sherilyn also delivers strong relationships in the Australian travel industry, which are vital to the airline’s continued success in this market.”
Hawaiian Airlines offers three weekly Boeing 767-300ER flights from Sydney to Honolulu, departing every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evening, crossing the international dateline, and arriving in Honolulu late the same morning, enabling travellers to be on world-famous Waikiki Beach by early afternoon or to make same day flight connections to the neighbour islands or nine cities on the US mainland.
Through a partnership with Virgin Blue, Hawaiian also offers same day connections to Hawaii from 16 destinations throughout Australia.
