Leadership & Board
A balanced model built for independence.
GIRA is governed through a balanced representation model designed to ensure independence, transparency, and equal industry participation.
Governance Structure
Equal airline and supplier representation.
The Board of Directors consists of equal airline and supplier representation to prevent dominance by any single commercial interest — and to maintain GIRA’s neutrality.
Board members are elected through separate airline and supplier voting processes to ensure balanced representation across the inflight retail ecosystem.
