Over the last eighteen months he has overseen multiple cost-reduction projects resulting in significant improvements as well as advised CEOs in Africa and the Middle East on their approach to liberalisation (in particular with regards to opening to the European skies). He worked in 2008 and 2009 on the turnaround of a Central European flagship airline and the operational improvement of a Middle Eastern low cost carrier. Other projects have include board-level strategy, fleet optimisation, cargo strategy, alliance design, commercial management structure, cost diagnostics, low cost carrier growth, flight training and pricing strategy.

Formerly, Mr. Weston had held the role of Vice President - Network Management and Alliances. In this role he oversaw the airline’s strategy, fleet planning, scheduling, revenue management, air service agreements and interline and alliance matters. He led a re-evaluation of Royal Jordanian’s network strategy which was approved by the Board in the form of a five year network and fleet plan. Mr. Weston ran the appraisal and selection team for a new fleet type which led to the introduction of the Embraer 190 series into the region.
