Colin Copp, the current Chief Operating Officer of Chorus Aviation, will take over the post of President and Chief Executive Office by the first quarter of 2023. Colin will replace Joseph Randell, who will retire post-2022 year-end results after an illustrious career of 37 years.
Congratulating Copp on his new role, Paul Rivett, Chair of the Chorus Board of Directors, said: “Chorus is fortunate to have a CEO successor in Colin Copp, with such an in-depth knowledge of the business and its culture. Colin has played an instrumental role in Chorus' evolution, displaying a proven ability to think strategically, communicate his vision, and successfully execute the intended plans. The Board looks forward to working with Colin and is confident in Colin's ability to guide Chorus through the next exciting chapter of growth and diversification."
Joe Randell added: “Colin has been an integral member of my leadership team for almost two decades and has proven to be an exemplary leader with demonstrated skills in handling complicated change management issues and multi-stakeholder negotiations. He has built strong relationships across the aviation industry and elevated Jazz and Voyageur to new levels of performance. I am confident Colin will adeptly and successfully lead Chorus through the next transformative phase, and I look forward to working closely with Colin, and the rest of the executive team, as he transitions to the CEO role."
Copp has been the Chief Operating Officer of Chorus and President of Chorus Aviation Services, including Jazz Aviation and Voyageur Aviation, since March 2019. He is also a Board member of the Air Transport Association of Canada and the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada.
