Atlas Air mourns passing of board chairman Robert Agnew


Atlas Air Worldwide has announced that Robert (Bob) Agnew, the chairman of the board of directors, passed away earlier this week. “Agnew was a wonderful director and even finer human being,” said William J. Flynn, chief executive officer of Atlas Air Worldwide.

 

“We are saddened by the news of his passing. His extensive knowledge of the aviation industry and depth of corporate expertise made him a tremendous asset to the board and to our company." A member of the Atlas Air Worldwide board since July 2004, Agnew also served on the board’s nominating and governance committee and previously chaired the audit committee. He became chairman of the board in 2017.

 

Flynn has been elected chairman of the board, effective immediately. It was previously announced that Flynn would assume the role of chairman on 1 January 2020. In addition, board member Duncan J. McNabb has been named interim lead independent director. (mw)
