JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced the appointment of David Marcontell to be the airline’s new vice president, technical operations starting June 17. In his new role, Marcontell will lead maintenance, materials, engineering, quality and other operational functions. He will report to Warren Christie, chief operating officer.

Marcontell brings nearly four decades of industry experience to JetBlue. He began his career with the U.S. Air Force as a C-130 maintenance and engineering officer before joining Delta Air Lines, where he held various engineering and procurement positions.

Marcontell said: “It’s honor to be joining JetBlue during such a pivotal chapter for the airline. JetBlue is a beloved brand among travelers and I look forward to bringing my experience to an already well-performing organization.
