Dr Frankie O'Connell
Reader in Air Transport Management
Biography
Dr John Frankie O’Connell is currently a Reader in Air Transport at the University of Surrey. Previous to this, he was a senior lecturer at the Centre of Air Transport Management at Cranfield University where he worked for 10 years, while prior to that he has worked for the Boeing commercial aircraft company as an analyst for a number of years and then for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (extended campus in California) as an airline lecturer for a further five years.
