Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings\u2019 president and CEO William Flynn has confirmed plans to integrate Southern Air and its sister airline, Florida West, under a single air operator\u2019s certificate (AOC). The announcement comes just months after Atlas acquired the U.S.-based carriers in April this year.
\nGaining a single AOC from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is expected to take between 12 and 18 months.
\nMerging the operations has proven a contentious issue, however, as matters including seniority and compensation have pitted pilots against management. Last month, pilots flying for Atlas Air, Southern Air, Polar Air, ABX and Kalitta voted in favor of authorizing their unions to call strike action \u2013 a move that Atlas maintains is illegal.
\nThe Southern Air acquisition was an all-cash, debt-free transaction valued at approximately US$107.5 million. The deal allows Atlas to expand its platform into 777 and 737 operations.
