Seven months after Banco Popular entered into an agreement with American Airlines Inc. to become the exclusive issuer of AAdvantage co-branded credit cards in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the acquisition of the Citi/AAdvantage co-branded credit card portfolio, the bank announced Wednesday the conversion has been completed.
Pedro Fábregas, a long-time veteran of the airline industry has been promoted to senior vice president of customer service for American Eagle, a position from which he will be responsible for all airport and flight attendant operations for the more than 1,500 daily flights operated by American Eagle and its affiliate Executive Airlines.
