His broad business acumen will be a key asset to our expansion plans in South America<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As American&#8217;s vice president and chief strategy officer, Steve leads work related to airline-wide strategy design and development, American&#8217;s focus on the economy and its impact on the business, and corporate development. He also provides counsel to American&#8217;s CEO and board of directors and collaborates with the senior leadership team on key markets and competition issues; corporate governance, social purpose and sustainability; policy development, external affairs and labor relations strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/11\/american-plans-expansion-of-high-speed-wi-fi-to-nearly-500-regional-aircraft.html\">American plans expansion of high-speed Wi-Fi to nearly 500 regional aircraft<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;American&#8217;s alliance with JetSMART opens up a world of possibilities for our customers to have access to the largest network, lowest fares and best travel rewards program in America,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;I am thrilled to join the JetSMART board of directors during this exciting phase of our partnership.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Steve&#8217;s first board meeting, held at JetSMART&#8217;s headquarters in Santiago, Chile, Andrew Broderick, CEO of Indigo Partners, commented, &#8220;We are proud to have Steve join our board. His experience and industry knowledge will be a great asset as we expand our partnership with American and work towards JetSMART&#8217;s goal of connecting 100 million passengers in South America.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The alliance between JetSMART and American Airlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, the two airlines launched their strategic alliance with the sale of codeshare flights between the United States and Chile, initiating the creation of the largest route network in the Americas, and with access to travel benefits for customers of both airlines. The alliance includes a broad network of codeshare routes and, by the end of 2024, will add access for JetSMART customers to American&#8217;s AAdvantage\u00ae loyalty program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alliance includes a minority investment by American in JetSMART, which will contribute to the company&#8217;s development in South America. The partnership will enable JetSMART to expand in Latin America and contribute to the regional economy by increasing the dynamism of tourism and other productive sectors in which air transportation is fundamental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-d40f09ce     uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-2 is-grid uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1 uagb-post__equal-height\" data-total=\"202\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-380x190.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Tocumen 2030: Hub of the Americas Projects 30 Million Passengers and a Strategic $220 Million Expansion<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-post__text uagb-post__cta wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link uagb-text-link\" style=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Read More<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/rebirth-of-a-hub-caracas-emerges-as-a-strategic-competitor-in-latin-america-iata-say.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia.webp 800w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-380x190.webp 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/rebirth-of-a-hub-caracas-emerges-as-a-strategic-competitor-in-latin-america-iata-say.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Rebirth of a Hub?
