(MAHB), has appointed Richard L. Dusome as the area general manager for the Sama-Sama group of airport hotels.
In a statement yesterday, MAHB said Dusome would be responsible for directing strategy for the newly branded Sama-Sama KL International Airport (KLIA) hotel and the Sama-Sama Express transit hotels in KLIA and KLIA2.
