American Airlines and US Airways continue to make important progress in our merger to create the world’s best airline. This morning, we announced the senior executive team that will lead the combined airline following the merger’s close – bringing us one step closer to the vision of becoming the new American Airlines.

As previously announced, Doug Parker will be Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. The rest of the senior leadership team includes:

 

   

Scott Kirby: President

 

   

Elise Eberwein: Executive Vice President, People and Communications

 

   

Bev Goulet: Chief Integration Officer

 

   

Robert Isom: Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer of US Airways, Inc. post-close

 

   

Steve Johnson: Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs

 

   

Derek Kerr: Chief Financial Officer

 

   

Maya Leibman: Chief Information Officer

 

   

Will Ris: Senior Vice President, Government Affairs

These senior leaders all have outstanding industry expertise and experience, and have distinguished themselves as consistently achieving strong business and operational results throughout their careers. This team represents not just the best of both companies, but what we truly believe is the most capable management team in the industry.

We also announced the members of the Board of Directors of the combined airline after the closing of the merger.
