The award was presented to Enrique Beltranena, CEO of Mexico’s leading LCC, Volaris, at a ceremony last week during the 6th Annual ALTA Airline Leaders Forum in Cartagena. The prestigious award which is bestowed upon a leader in Latin America and the Caribbean who best exemplifies the leadership, courage, character and vision of TACA’s visionary, the late Federico Bloch. The Award is managed by Michael Bell of the leading executive search firm, Spencer Stuart, and is voted on by an independent panel of five judges. Under Enrique’s strong and unwavering leadership Volaris has literally “come out of nowhere” to become close to the largest airline in Mexico. This feat has been accomplished through a well conceived and most importantly, superbly executed program across all facets of the business – route network, pricing, in flight offering, marketing, fleet, stringent cost management, great reliability and sound capital financing.

Moreover, the airline is now starting to post profits despite the highly challenging, and consolidating marketplace in Mexico and Latin America. And it has signed its “first in the business code sharing agreement” with Southwest Airlines. Enrique joins prior award recipients that include Pedro Heilbron, Mauricio Botelho. Constantino de Oliveira, Jr, Enrique Cueto and one other (who shall remain nameless for this purpose). Enrique then made a lovely acceptance speech in which he thanked family, friends, and his workforce and ALTA for the honor. He also had some great comments about his one time mentor and boss, Federico Bloch as well as Roberto Kriete. Congratulations, Enrique
