Some Denver Positions Will Be Transferred, Other Jobs
Created
Republic Airways Holdings announced
Tuesday that it will add up to 300 full-time positions in
Indianapolis next year. As a result of this job growth, the company
will be eligible to receive up to approximately $4 million in
economic incentives through the end of 2019, based on the actual
number of new jobs created.
The job additions are part of Republic's consolidation of its
business operations functions to its Indianapolis headquarters. The
move will include consolidation of administrative and operating
functions to capture synergies across all lines of business.
The consolidation will affect approximately 140 operations
employees currently based in Denver and is expected to be completed
by the second quarter of 2010. Positions to be relocated include
dispatchers, engineers, crew schedulers and other operations
functions. The balance of the new positions in Indianapolis is
expected to come from new job growth and additional consolidation
of job functions throughout the company’s network.
“The move will be a seamless process for our customers and
will not result in changes in flight frequency or destinations
offered in our branded network,” said Bryan Bedford, the
airline’s chairman, president and CEO. “Denver will
remain by far Republic Airways’ largest employment center and
hub, with a continued workforce of more than 3,500
employees.”
“In planning the acquisitions of Frontier and Midwest
Airlines, we identified several areas where we could strengthen our
business by leveraging operations and creating cost efficiencies
across the company’s network,” said Wayne Heller,
Republic’s executive vice president and chief operating
officer. “This is a continuation of that process. Basing all
our branded carriers’ operations functions in Indianapolis
will allow us to streamline our processes, reduce overhead and
redundancies and better position the company for continued success
during these challenging economic times.”
“As Republic Airways continues to gain strength in the
airline industry, the state of Indiana is proud to be a part of its
success," said Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. "Republic is one of
a growing number of companies to consolidate a significant number
of jobs in Indiana because of our low-cost business environment and
robust logistics sector.”
