The Tony Jannus Distinguished Aviation Society is proud to honor Hawaiian Airlines President & Chief Executive Officer Peter Ingram as this year’s Tony Jannus Award recipient, presented annually to someone who has made major and lasting contributions to the commercial aviation industry.

Peter Ingram personifies what the Tony Jannus Award represents: Innovation and excellence in the aviation industry,” said Laurie Goossens, 2024 Tony Jannus Society Chair. “His steady leadership at Hawaiian serves as a benchmark for success in the commercial aviation industry and we could not be more delighted to honor him.”

Ingram joined Hawaiian as Chief Financial Officer in November 2005 and served as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer from November 2011 through February 2018 before his appointment as President & CEO.

 During his tenure at the company, Hawaiian Airlines has expanded into the Asia/Pacific and Oceania regions, solidified its position as a U.S. leader for operational performance, and delivered the highest levels of customer service.

 “It’s an honor to accept this award on behalf of my 7,000-plus colleagues at Hawaiian Airlines,” said Ingram. “I am privileged to work alongside a team committed to running an outstanding airline and welcoming our guests with authentic Hawaiian hospitality. This recognition reflects their success delivering on our mission to connect people with aloha.”

Please join the Tony Jannus Distinguished Aviation Society in honoring extraordinary accomplishments in the field of commercial aviation, by becoming a sponsor of the 2024 Tony Jannus Award. A portion of each sponsorship is contributed to a scholars awards program for student aviation enthusiasts. We'd like to invite you in congratulating Mr. Peter Ingram, our 2024 Tony Jannus Award Winner at our banquet at The JW Marriott Tampa on Saturday November 16, 2024 at 6:00pm.
