MEDIA RELEASE

Hawaiian Airlines has announced the appointment of Timothy Strauss to the position of managing director of cargo.

Hawaiian created this new marketing and sales position to support its growing cargo business in conjunction with its expanding route network and the addition of more Airbus A330-200 aircraft with greater cargo-carrying capacity. Strauss reports to Peter Ingram, Hawaiian’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer.

“Hawaiian’s network is growing and this creates more opportunities for Hawaii businesses to ship their goods abroad. We are also moving more products between Asia, Oceania, and North America,” said Ingram. “Tim’s engaging leadership style and impressive professional background make him the ideal person to expand our cargo operations.”

Strauss brings more than 25 years of cargo experience to Hawaiian, having worked in both the airline and freight forwarding communities. He began his career with Emery Worldwide in 1987 (now UPS Supply Chain Logistics), where he worked his way up from cargo handler to vice president of transportation and logistics.

He also has extensive commercial airline experience in both global sales and operations with Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines as a vice president and managing director. Strauss has worked with thirteen international airlines, including China’s largest carrier, in management development for their cargo divisions.

Strauss advanced his understanding of the logistics industry via studies in management at The Ohio State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Cambridge Institute.
