FlightStats Releases June 2008 Airline and Airport Performance Reports
US airlines on-time performance falls to its lowest level since February. Cancellations spike. Summer air travel plagued by higher fares, higher fees, and poor on-time arrival performance. Asian airports continue to set the standard for on-time performance.
NEW YORK (Business Wire EON) May 27, 2008 -- Owen will also play a pivotal role in helping the company tailor and further develop its weather-based financial risk management solutions for the unique needs of the airline industry. The company's current airline industry offerings include benchmark weather indices, such as the Storm Exchange Flight Delay IndexSM, a variety of weather hedging analytics and WeatherProtected® consumer programs, which allow airlines to offer customer rebates in the event of a weather-related delay or cancellation.
"John has proven himself as both a visionary and a master of the tactical details," said David Riker, President & CEO of Storm Exchange. "His counsel will be invaluable as we continue to advance the ability of financial executives to identify, quantify and control weather risk."
Owen was a member of the team that founded JetBlue Airways where he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at JetBlue Airways from 1999 through spring 2006. He subsequently served as JetBlue's Executive Vice President of Supply Chain and Information Technology until March of 2007. Prior to joining JetBlue, Owen was Treasurer and then Vice President for Operations Planning and Analysis for Southwest Airlines.
"A key part of any financial executive's role is managing risk," said Owen. "Every company operating in a weather-sensitive industry knows that some portion of its revenues, and often of its expenses, is going to be adversely affected by Mother Nature, but very few have ever attempted to quantify that exposure, let alone hedge it in the financial markets. Storm Exchange is on the cusp of a revolution in corporate financial management; I look forward to helping drive this change."
