As American Airlines' Senior Vice President of Network Planning, he oversees the route decisions that have made CLT the airline's second-largest hub powering approximately 90% of the airport's flights to over 170 destinations. Last year CLT handled about 53.6 million passengers and more than 570,000 aircraft operations, landing it 7th busiest globally for total aircraft movements and 35th for passenger traffic; numbers that put real weight behind connecting the Carolinas (and Charlotte) to the world.
