Captain Jock Lowe joined BOAC (British Airways' predecessor) in 1970 as a First Officer on the airline's Vickers VC-I0 fleet. He transferred to the Concorde fleet in 1976, the first year of commercial supersonic service and continued to fly the aircraft until 1999. In 1982 he was appointed Concorde Division Resource Manager responsible for Concorde revenue, costs and product.
In 1986 he became General Manager Operations Control with total responsibility for the department, which oversees the day-to-day operations of the airline's entire fleet of 350 aircraft. Following the merger of British Airways and British Caledonian, he took on the additional responsibility of Operations Co-ordinator for London Gatwick Airport.
Captain Lowe became Director of Flight Operations and Chief Pilot for British Airways and in 1996 he was appointed Concorde Commercial Manager. He was seconded to Olympic Airways as Group Operations Director in 1999. Jock was also Chairman of Airways Aero Association, a subsidiary of British Airways, which runs Wycombe Air Park and was a member of the National Air Traffic Services Research Advisory Committee.
He has had the honour of flying Her Majesty the Queen to Barbados, Washington and Ottawa, and the Prime Minister to Washington.
