This information was confirmed by Penseel and CEVA Logistics.

"Peter Penseel is joining CEVA Logistics.

He is joining as 'Global Air Freight Leader' and will start on 29th of June," wrote Walter Dussaucy, chief communications officer for CEVA Logistics, in response to questions from The STAT Trade Times.Penseel was on garden leave after leaving Qatar Airways Cargo in early March around the time the Covid-19 pandemic was beginning to have a serious impact on global aviation industry.

However, Penseel said his leaving the Qatar job had nothing to do with Covid-19 but he just "accepted a new challenge".
