JetBlue Appoints Steve Olson as Head of System Operations and Airports to Drive Efficiency and Reliability

Under his leadership, JetBlue has significantly improved on-time performance and strengthened its ability to recover from operational disruptions, particularly within its complex East Coast network. Olson has also led a major operational modernization effort, introducing advanced aircraft movement and flight planning systems, with a new crew management system set to launch later this year.

With over 20 years of airline leadership experience, Olson began his career as an aircraft maintenance technician in the Air National Guard. A licensed aircraft dispatcher and commercial pilot, he brings a comprehensive understanding of the aviation industry from multiple operational perspectives.
