US lessor and cargo carrier Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) has appointed as its president longtime airline executive Greg Mays, who has most recently worked as chief operating officer of Sun Country Airlines.
Mays will lead ATSG’s commercial and operations teams, including expanding its Airbus A330 Freighter and A321 Freighter leasing platforms.
ATSG adds that Mays “is committed to strengthening the company’s workforce through initiatives like AirborneTech, which provides employees with a pathway to earn their aviation maintenance technician license in as little as 12 months.”
According to Mays’ LinkedIn profile, he worked as Sun Country’s COO from June 2019 to May 2025.
ATSG shuffled shuffled its senior leadership team in June 2024, naming board member Jeffrey Dominick as its president and naming Mike Berger as chief executive, with longtime CEO Joe Hete sliding into the role of executive chairman. Hete has since re-retired.
Ohio-based ATSG specialises in aircraft leasing and freight-hauling operations, managing a fleet including Airbus widebodies and narrowbodies, as well as Boeing 767s. It oversees an array of subsidiary companies, including Cargo Aircraft Management, Air Transport International and Omni Air International.
”ATSG has built a strong foundation in one of the most complex industries,” Mays says of his new role. ”My focus will be on strengthening that foundation by driving operational precision, empowering teams and expanding capabilities.”
ATSG ended 2024 with a total of 148 owned and leased aircraft in its fleet, which is mostly comprised of 767s.
Last year, ATSG agreed to be purchased for $3.1 billion by New York investment firm Stonepeak. The deal made ATSG a private company and de-listed it from the New York Stock Exchange.
