UPS Airlines names VP flight operations
UPS has named Matt Capozzoli as vice president of flight operations for UPS Airlines.
He replaces Capt. Rick Barr, who is retiring after 23 years at the company.
Capozzoli, 52, joined UPS in 1977, working in ground operations as a package handler, part-time supervisor and driver. In 1987, he was promoted to the management team and worked in operations and then human resources. He moved to the UPS corporate office in 1990 and began serving the company as an attorney.
For the next 15 years, Capozzoli rotated through a series of UPS legal assignments, including a two-year stint in Louisville as head of the UPS Airlines Legal and Regulatory Department. At the corporate office, Capozzoli became legal coordinator and corporate and Legal Department manager.
As a senior manager, Capozzoli returned to package operations in 2005, holding district manager positions on the Eastern seaboard and in the corporate office. In 2010, Capozzoli returned to the airline, where he has managed special projects for the last year, UPS said.
UPS operates one of the largest airlines in the world with more than 500 owned and chartered aircraft flying nearly 1,700 daily flight segments serving 766 airports across the globe.
