Jeff Garver

Jeff joined the company in 1985 (Henson Airlines) as a cross-trained agent in Florence, South Carolina (FLO). In his 35+ years with Piedmont, Jeff has served as station supervisor, station manager and a regional director of stations. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jeff led more than 264 hub managers and over 2500 team members, ground handling 565 flights per day for American Airlines.

Jeff’s experience helped lead Piedmont through two US Airways bankruptcies in the wake of 9/11. He was instrumental in restructuring both the PHL and CLT hubs between 2006 and 2010 to improve compliance and performance. Under Jeff’s leadership, the regional operation in CLT became a primary connection point for American Airlines customers. Both airports are now well positioned to aid in American’s business recovery and return to profitability.

Jeff brings a wealth of experience developing talent over the past three decades. He has served as a mentor to countless Piedmont team members and continues to participate in Leadership training for new managers across the system.
