Justin Neff named president of McGee Air Services

The board of directors for McGee Air Services Inc. today named Justin Neff president of the wholly-owned ground operations subsidiary of Alaska Airlines.

Neff joins McGee after eight years working at Alaska Airlines, most recently as managing director of engines, material, components and lease management. Prior to his current role he served as the managing director of supply chain management for Alaska.

Neff joined the airline from Black & Veatch, a leading global engineering, consulting and construction company, where he led global IT contracting, asset management and procurement programs.

"Justin is a proven people manager with the ability to get things done, while leading with his heart," said Wayne Newton, chairman of McGee Air Services board of directors and senior vice president of airport operations and customer service at Alaska Airlines. "I am excited to see him leading our growing team at McGee as we strengthen our operation and begin to grow our presence at airports across the country."

Neff served four terms as an elected official on the city council while residing in Belton, Missouri, his hometown. Although having relocated to the Northwest a decade ago, he is loyal to the Kansas City Chiefs.
