Perrella departs Airways for Business Traveler

Enrique Perrella

Airways publisher and editor Enrique Perella has been hired by Business Traveler as its aviation director.

He will assume editorial leadership and oversight for all functions related to commercial aviation within Business Traveler magazine, BusinessTravelerUSA.com, and “The Business Traveler Show,” airing on reachTV screens in 90 airports across North America.

As part of his previous work, Perrella turned around Airways by rejuvenating, digitizing and making all its past editions available through a digital app. He also launched the magazine’s first website, hosted its bi-weekly podcast, and led a team of more than 60 editors, writers and photographers.

“I cannot wait to help developBusiness Traveler’s print magazine, digital platforms and TV show through deep collaborations with key aviation partners,” said Perrella in a statement.
