Lynx Air (Lynx), compania aeriană ultra-prețabilă din Canada, a anunțat astăzi că Jim Sullivan se va alătura companiei în calitate de Chief Operating Officer, începând cu 18 octombrie.
Sullivan brings more than 30 years of airline operations experience to the role, as both a pilot and an airline executive, most recently as Vice President of Flight Operations at JetBlue Airways.
Sullivan joins Lynx at a critical time in the airline’s development, with plans to expand its network to the United States and grow its fleet to 10 aircraft over the next 12 months. He will lead a team of nearly 200 pilots, cabin crew and other airline professionals and will have accountability for all aspects of the airline’s operations, including flight operations, cabin crew, airport operations, technical operations and safety and security.
„Toată viața am avut o pasiune pentru zbor și aviație. Există foarte mult potențial pe piața aviației din Canada în acest moment și sunt incredibil de încântat de oportunitatea de a mă alătura unei companii aeriene nou-înființate precum Lynx”, spune Sullivan. „Aștept cu nerăbdare să ajut Lynx să își îndeplinească misiunea de a face călătoriile cu avionul să fie accesibile pentru toți canadienii.”
“We are delighted to welcome an executive of Jim’s calibre to our executive team at Lynx,” says Merren McArthur, CEO of Lynx. “We conducted an extensive global search and Jim was the stand-out candidate, with an ideal blend of airline operations experience, spanning a start-up to ultra-low cost carrier. He has a reputation for empowering teams through his collaborative leadership style and we know he will be a great cultural fit for Lynx.” Lynx is now in its seventh month of operations, and currently operates six brand new Boeing 737 aircraft. The airline currently flies to 10 destinations across Canada. Later this winter, Lynx will expand its network to the United States, with services to Phoenix, Las Vegas, Orlando and Los Angeles.
