A full weekend of Homecoming activities has been planned for the Annual Reunion of Auburn’s Aviation program. “We are thrilled to have an exciting weekend of events planned in honor of our Aviation program’s long history and many accomplishments,” says Dr. Joe Hanna, Chair of the Department of Aviation and Supply Chain Management.
The festivities will be kicked off on Thursday, November 1, with a presentation by Mr. Mark Moran, Executive Vice President of Operations with Continental Airlines who will speak about his many experiences in the aviation industry. “We look forward to hosting Mr. Moran and providing our students with a rare educational opportunity to interact with an airline executive who is knowledgeable in both aviation and supply chain related matters,” continues Hanna.
“We are delighted to have Mr. Moran speak as part of our Aviation Management Distinguished Visitor Program, in the College of Business. He brings great experience to share with future leaders in aviation as well as related disciplines like supply chain management,” says Mr. Ted Mallory, Vice President of Astar Air Cargo and Chair of the Aviation Management Advisory Board.
Mr. Moran has held the position of Executive Vice President of Operations for Continental Airlines, Inc., since August 2004. He is responsible for flight operations, in-flight airport services, technical operations, purchasing, cargo, food services, crew scheduling, flight safety/training and system operations coordination.
Continental Airlines (www.continental.com.) (http://www.continental.com/).) is the world's fifth largest airline and along with Continental Express and Continental Connection, has more than 3,100 daily departures throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, serving 143 domestic and 140 international destinations. More than 400 additional points are served via SkyTeam alliance airlines. With more than 45,000 employees, Continental has hubs serving New York, Houston, Cleveland and Guam, and together with Continental Express, carries approximately 67 million passengers per year.
Continental recently announced a record $241 million third quarter profit for 2007. Future growth is being built around an expansion of the international air passenger and freight market with destinations to Mumbai, India and Shanghai, China.
Mr. Moran began his career at Continental in 1994, and has held various positions that includes Vice President of Aircraft Maintenance, Vice President of Technical Operations and Purchasing, Sr. Vice President of Technical Operations and Purchasing, among others. Prior to joining Continental , Mr. Moran was Director of Engineering for US Airways.
Mr. Moran began his airline career as a design engineer with Boeing, Inc. in 1979, where he worked five years before venturing into the airlines. Mr. Moran graduated with a bachelor's degree in Engineering from Marquette University in 1979. He is also a registered professional engineer and holds his private pilot license.
Mr. Moran's presentation will be held in Room 125 of the Lowder Business Building of the College of Business at 7:00 p.m., and the public is invited.
Reunion plans continue on Saturday, November 2, with an Auburn Tailgate Party, held in front of the Nichols ROTC Building beginning at 10:00 a.m. There will be a silent auction for items that include footballs, tee shirts and airline tickets from American, JetBlue, among others. Funds raised during the tailgate will be used to support student scholarships and the aviation program which is housed in the Department of Aviation and Supply Chain Management. Students, faculty, alumni and the public are invited.
Prior to the kickoff of the AU and Tennessee Tech Homecoming game at Jordan-Hare stadium there will be an F-16 Flyby. “We are pleased that the Alabama Air National Guard will once again perform the pre-game Flyby with unit aircraft from the 187th Fighter Wing in Montgomery. The F-16’s are not only exciting to watch, but are a front line fighter that is currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, says Mr. Mallory.
End.
