Outstanding achievements
Phyllis co-ordinated an international congress, the Universal
Postal Union (UPU) held in Beijing in July 1999, whereby she as
the leader, her carefully chosen full fledge Air China team together
with the China Tourism Board and a major China Tour operator led
a high level informative presentation to UPU travellers. As a
result of this Air China not only won the full support of the
travellers but was also awarded the official carrier of the UPU
Congress worldwide. She capably followed through all the administrative,
operative process and inter line agreements with other airline
partners in co-ordinating this congress at such an international
scale.
In an unusual business promotion
project with Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Swissotel,
Movenpick Hotel, Ritz Carlton Hotel and China Tourism Board she
initiated a seminar for corporate travellers with a special theme
"The Dilema of Business Travel" highlighting the cultural
aspects of travelling to China for Business. For this seminar
she had gained great applause and Air China's image was greatly
improved.
I found Ms Koessler to be enthusiastic
and diligent. Her lively and and direct sense of humour seems
to enhance and build up the Air China team. She understood the
cultural differences of Air China and the expatriate staff who
came from China to work in the local condition. On the other hand
she was well versed with the Swiss Travel Industry market, the
German language and their way of doing business. All in all she
was an excellent bridge between the west and the east.
Air China's revenue did did exceedingly
well during her service with the company.
