Chris Johnson Tapped For The Post

Southwest Airlines has named Chris Johnson as the new Managing Director Ground Operations effective February 1, 2018. Johnson will be responsible for the daily operations of a Team of more than 18,000 employees who work in the carrier's domestic locations across the United States. His key responsibilities include ensuring these employees have the resources and tools they need to deliver the safest, most reliable, and most hospitable airport experience.

"Chris's significant Leadership experience, operational expertise, tireless work ethic, and Servant's Heart will ensure his success in his new role," says Steve Goldberg, Senior Vice President Operations & Hospitality. "He cares deeply about our Employees as well as the Reliability of our service, which will serve him well in leading the daily operations of our Ground Operations Team."
