Hollis L. Harris
Hollis Loyd Harris (born November 25, 1931) is known for having served as President and COO of Delta Air Lines (1987-1990) and Chairman, President, and CEO of Continental Airlines (1990-1991), Air Canada (1992-1996), and World Airways (1999-2004). According to journalist Rachel Ramos, Harris led the latter three airlines "out of the turbulence of financial instability toward profitability."〔Rachel Tobin Ramos, (“Atlanta author fires at Delta succession plan” ) ''Atlanta Business Chronicle'', July 27, 2006〕 In 1997 Harris and Steve Wolf signed a strategic agreement between Air Canada and United Airlines, producing what is now the Star Alliance, which grew to become the world's largest global airline alliance.
== Career ==
Hollis Harris’s 51-year career began in 1954 as a transportation agent at Delta while taking full-time classes in aeronautical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He earned his Bachelors degree in 1961 while working in Delta’s engineering department, where he was promoted to managerial positions. Between 1965 and 1969, he progressed from Manager of Facilities to Director, and eventually became Assistant Vice President of the Facilities Department, which incorporated the various functions of planning, engineering, and constructing Delta’s system-wide facilities, including airport terminals, hangars, reservations offices, city ticket offices, general office and fuel storage facilities, and ground support equipment. By 1971, Harris was head of the Aircraft Engineering Department, and in 1973, he became Senior Vice President of Passenger Service.〔Delta Air Lines Public Relations Department, “Hollis L. Harris: President and Chief Operating Officer,” 1987〕 After a series of promotions, in 1987 Harris was named President/COO and a member of Delta’s Board of Directors, where he served for four years. During this time, Harris helped launch Delta’s new service to Seoul, South Korea in anticipation for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.〔Rohan Anand, (“Delta and the “de-Portland” hub story: airport allure” ), October 9, 2012〕
In 1990, Harris joined Continental Airlines as Chairman, President, and CEO with the task of helping the airline avert bankruptcy. Due to several disagreements with the Board about how the airline should be restructured, Harris resigned from Continental in September 1991 and joined Air Canada as Chairman, President, and CEO in 1992.〔Joel Cowan, Fayette County’s Business Person of the Year presentation speech, January 22, 2005〕 The following year, after returning to serve on the Board at Continental as part of a plan for Air Canada to acquire 27.5% of Continental, Harris and the Air Partners Group brought Continental out of bankruptcy through strategic restructuring of the airline.〔Michael Manning, (“The Interview: Hollis Harris, former president and Chief Operating Officer of Delta Air Lines” ), December 9, 2013〕 While at Air Canada, Harris and Steve Wolf signed a “strategic agreement” between Air Canada and United Airlines that produced what is now the Star Alliance – the largest airline group in the world. In 1994, the Financial Times of Canada named Harris the “Number One CEO”.〔Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame, (“Hollis L. Harris” ), April 23, 2005〕
In 1999, Harris joined World Airways as Chairman, President, and CEO. During his five years at World, Harris cut costs by relocating the airline’s headquarters from Dulles International Airport to Peachtree City, GA, and, similar to his experience at Continental and Air Canada, Harris led the restructuring team in providing several consecutive quarters of profitability before retiring in May of 2004.〔J. Frank Lynch, “PTC’s Harris credited for success of World Airways.” ''The Citizen News'', 1999〕
