Nelio da Matta

POSITION:

Assistant Terminal Manager for RU, QR and CFS operations, at the newly expanded 216 warehouse, on the south side.

RESPONSIBILITIES AS ASSISTANT TERMINAL MANAGER:

As Assistant Manager for QR, RU and CFS, I am in charge of the day-to-day operations for these clients. I ensure CS and quality standards are met according to the expectations of our clients and oversee the selecting and training of our personnel.

PREVIOUS POSITIONS:

Previously I worked with Mercury Air Cargo for 14 years, from 1994-2008, and have been within the industry since then. Prior to Mercury Air Cargo, I was the Operations Manager for AU at LAX. My job encompassed CS, warehouse and Ramp.

ADDITIONALLY:

TESTIMONIAL ABOUT NELIO:

"Nelio had 13 years with Mercury in varied positions, including terminal manager in both LAX and YYZ, and played an intricate part in our new hire orientation and refresher training for Mercury personnel. Nelio spent the last 6 years managing the operation of an international air carrier at LAX, and we are pleased to have him take on this very important role as Assistant Terminal Manager with direct oversight of the CFS business, Qatar and Air Bridge."John Peery, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Mercury Air Cargo
