NPMC welcomed Tom McCartin as our newest member of the Board of Directors this past January and is now pleased to welcome him to the office of President.
Tom has worked in commercial aviation for more than 40 years. He began his career with Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) working in Maintenance, Station Operations and Fuel Management. In 1993, Tom was hired to become the first GM at the new Denver International Airport, managing the fuel system and into-plane operation at DIA. He moved to Southwest Airlines in 2002 and over the next 13 years directed fuel purchasing, operations, accounting and fuel quality/training. After retiring from SWA, Tom was hired by Spirit Airlines in March 2015 and has built a fuel department to in-source all fuel management and accounting functions.
He is retiring in April and his extensive and a long commercial/airline aviation history and leadership will be missed. He has the respect of the industry and was instrumental and led the airlines to start the (COG – Consortium Operations Group). He has been an innovator in the industry and has a service-oriented philosophy, the relationships and leadership to be a noteworthy board member.
Tom was inducted in the National Petroleum Management Corporation “Order of the SPR” in 2016 and was named Ground Support magazine “2014 Team Leader of the Year”. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Creighton University and a Master of Business Administration from Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville. Tom and his wife Pat live in Denver, Colorado and have four grown sons.
We are excited to have Tom steer this new chapter and help the NPMC to grow in the coming years!
