Delta Air Lines has appointed Colombian executive Diego Ospina as Director of Sales for South America to bolster its regional commercial development. Gabriela Cioccia expands her role to oversee sales in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, reporting to Ospina.
These changes reinforce Delta’s joint venture with LATAM Airlines, launched in 2022, by enhancing connectivity and customer experience across South American markets. Ospina, with over 20 years in aviation and 10 years at Delta, previously led multinational accounts, corporate sales development, alliances, and strategy projects.
He reports directly to Luciano Macagno, Delta’s General Director for Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Florida. Ospina’s priorities include expanding Delta’s market presence and leveraging the LATAM partnership for operational gains.
Cioccia, with a decade at Delta, advances from Regional Sales Manager for Argentina. Her expanded duties cover key Southern Cone countries, building on her expertise in corporate sales, multinational accounts, and project management for Latin America and the Caribbean.
The appointments signal Delta’s strategic focus on South America amid growing regional demand, positioning the carrier to capture market share through stronger sales leadership and network integration.
