Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPCE) (the “Company” or
“Virgin Galactic”), a vertically integrated aerospace and space
travel company, announced today that former Delta Air Lines
executive Mike Moore has been appointed Executive Vice President,
Spaceline Technical Operations, effective August 22.
Moore will lead Virgin Galactic’s technical operations and
maintenance team in charge of ensuring the Company’s vehicles are
ready for flight. As part of this new position, he will help design
and implement the operational model and technical infrastructure
needed to support high cadence spaceflights during commercial
service. Moore will report to CEO Michael Colglazier.
“A major part of delivering the Astronaut experience at Virgin
Galactic sits with our technical operations team, which ensures our
Spaceflight system is fit and ready to fly,” said Colglazier. “I am
thrilled that Mike is joining us to lead the expansion of our
talented technical operations team at Spaceport America as we
develop our capabilities in preparation for commercial service.
Mike has more than 28 years of experience overseeing daily
aerospace operations, and his expertise and steadfast dedication to
safety, quality, and process improvement will be indispensable as
we enter this chapter.”
Moore joins the Company following a thirty-seven-year long
career within aviation, and a decade-long career at Delta Air
Lines, where he led Delta’s TechOps Services Group as Senior Vice
President, Maintenance Operations & MRO Services Group. While
at Delta, Moore supported the introduction of two major
next-generation engine maintenance partnerships with Rolls-Royce
and Pratt & Whitney. After beginning his aviation career as an
aviation mechanic in the U.S. Air Force, Moore also worked at
Northwest Airlines and ran StandardAero completions between TIMCO
and TeamSAI.
“Joining the world’s first commercial spaceline during this
pivotal period of expansion is an honor,” said Moore. “Virgin
Galactic is an industry pioneer with a distinctive product and an
exceptionally talented team. Entering high frequency commercial
service will see a step-change in their day-to-day technical needs,
and I look forward to working with the team to expand, build on
their cutting-edge operations and exceed their goals.”
