Peter Schumann

Director Planning & MRO
Sun Country Airlines


Profile

Peter is the Director of Maintenance Planning and MRO at his hometown Sun Country Airlines in Minnesota. After more than a decade’s experience outside of Minnesota cutting his teeth in the Engineering, Aftermarket Trading, Supply Chain, Warehousing, Logistics and Cabin Provisioning realms of the airline industry, Peter has been lucky to have a homecoming back to his native Twin Cities to lead Maintenance Planning and MRO at Sun Country. Peter currently oversees Line Maintenance, Heavy Maintenance, Strategic Planning and Aircraft Acquisitions/Returns/Retirements with a staff of Planners and Site Representatives who act in the upmost professional standards of the airline’s best interest in Safety, Quality, Performance and Cost. Within his relatively short tenure at Sun Country, Peter has institutionalized various cost optimization strategies and strategic partnerships to reduce airframe maintenance unit costs by over 10%, improve technical on time performance and optimize line check and hangar plans that will allow the airline to scale beyond 100% growth without the need of dramatic infrastructure investment.

Peter is a proud alumnus of Purdue University (BS Krannert School of Management) and holds a pilot’s license in single engine aircraft and gliders.
