The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) today announced that Curt Nohavec, 49, has been named chief financial officer for
Connexion by Boeing.
A 25-year Boeing veteran, Nohavec previously served as director of
Finance for the Technical Services and Modifications business within
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, to which he was appointed in November
2001. In that role, he was responsible for the financial management
of the organization, including estimating and pricing, cost management, and financial planning activities.
Nohavec received his undergraduate degree in Finance, and his
master's degree from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash.
He also attended the Executive Development Program at the University
of Illinois.
Connexion by Boeing is the market-leading initiative to bring
commercial broadband data services to commercial and executive
aircraft during flight, allowing passengers to have access to e-mail,
the Internet, firewall-protected intranet access, e-commerce, television, news and entertainment content and
transmission and receipt of data. Aircraft operators also benefit from in-flight
access to aircraft and crew data. Boeing is also studying the potential
applicability of the Connexion broadband in-flight data services for enhancing
aviation security.
The Connexion by BoeingSM service is currently available to the
executive services market in the U.S., which includes operators of
private and government aircraft. Connexion by Boeing also remains on
track with leading European carrier Lufthansa to equip its long-haul
fleet beginning with a demonstration installation in late 2002/early
2003. |
