A Lynx Air (Lynx), a companhia aérea ultra-acessível do Canadá, anunciou hoje que Jim Sullivan se juntará à empresa como diretor de operações, a partir de 18 de outubro.
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.
“Eu tive uma paixão por voar e pela aviação por toda a minha vida. Há muito potencial no mercado de aviação canadense no momento e estou incrivelmente empolgado com a oportunidade de ingressar em uma companhia aérea iniciante como a Lynx”, diz Sullivan. “Estou ansioso para ajudar a Lynx a cumprir sua missão de tornar as viagens aéreas acessíveis para todos os canadenses.”
“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.
