AIR Transport Services Group (ATSG) has elected founder of 10 Tanker Air Carrier Robert Coretz to its board of directors. His company engineers and modifies DC-10 aircraft for aerial firefighting and suppression purposes.
The appointment is said to be key for ATSG as Mr Coretz brings in-depth knowledge of the technology of aircraft conversions which is one of ATSG's key strategic advantages. He also has knowledge about the management of global airline operations.
Mr Coretz was the former board chairman of Omni Air International, a US-based passenger airline that ATSG acquired in November 2018. He founded Omni Air International in 1993. He was also a principal and founder of several aircraft leasing companies, reported The STAT Times, Navi Mumbai.
ATSG chairman Randy Rademacher said: 'The shareholders of ATSG will be well served by the contributions of Rob Coretz, a true leader in the airline and aircraft conversion services field.'
Commenting on his new role, Mr Coretz said: 'At Omni Air International, we closely followed the development of ATSG since the Airborne days into a premier independent source of air cargo services to major worldwide organisations.
'I am eager to help sustain and shape its continued growth in new and expanding markets.'
Mr Coretz raises the number of ATSG directors to eight. He has been nominated for re-election to a one-year term on the board of directors at the next annual meeting of ATSG shareholders in May 2019.
