Peter Vittori, Managing Director Sales & Marketing for Caribbean/Latin America, American Airlines

Peter Vittori has enjoyed a long career with American Airlines, the world’s third largest airline. It is under his direction that Latin America has grown to be one of the most profitable regions in the American system. The region continues to be a stronghold for American, offering more flights to more destinations than any other airline. Miami is American’s third largest hub, based on American and American Eagle flights, and is a gateway to the Southern Hemisphere and the Caribbean, with the Latin America/Mexico route system encompassing 40 destinations in 17 countries.

Peter Vittori believes that much of American’s success in Latin America can be attributed to its employees –almost all of whom are nationals of the countries they work in. They are responsible for developing ties to the local communities, governments and business leaders, and for opening the marketplace to American.

Italian in origin, his education began at St. Stephen’s International School in Rome, followed by Loyola University in Chicago. However, all of American’s many destinations in Latin America have increasingly become his home.
