Achma Asokan

Founders James W. Foster and Achma Asokan began the AirlinePros journey as Group Systems America Inc. in 1999 in the USA. Jim began his career with Northwest Airlines and worked as Managing Director in Hongkong and Denmark. Later he returned to Hongkong as COO of Dragon Air. In 1999 Jim started his own consultancy in airline representation and distribution. Achma, a finance professional, started her career in aviation as an Interline Accounts Supervisor in Air Namibia and worked her way up to become the Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary. Subsequently, she worked with Air Seychelles in Mahe, IATA in Geneva, and American Express in the US before joining Jim in 2005.
