Will Become President And CEO After Emergence From Bankruptcy
Pinnacle Airlines Corp. has named Ryan Gumm as senior vice president and chief operating officer, effective Feb. 5, 2013. Upon the Company's emergence from bankruptcy, Gumm will become president and chief executive officer, and John Spanjers will retire.
"We're excited to welcome Ryan to the executive leadership team," said Pinnacle Airlines President and CEO John Spanjers. "He brings vast experience in airline operations and will take on a central role in Pinnacle's providing safe and reliable services to its customers."
Gumm was previously executive vice president and chief operating officer of Delta Private Jets. Prior to that, he was president of Comair. He also served in leadership positions at Freedom Airlines and Mesa Airlines. Gumm earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Professional Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He holds an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate, a type rating on the EMB-145 regional jet and a Commercial Flight Instructor Certificate.
The company recently announced that, following its emergence from bankruptcy, it will be moving its headquarters from Memphis, TN, to Minneapolis, MN. Pinnacle's operation will be located in vacant space leased by Delta Air Lines on Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport property. "We had the responsibility to explore every aspect of our business to find opportunities to reduce costs, including evaluating our property leases, to find the most economical options for Pinnacle," said John Spanjers, president and CEO of Pinnacle Airlines.
