Other Voices For Julius Maldutis

Holly Hegeman
Journalist, airline analyst

Wow. Thanks for the mention! Definitely the end of an era. In the 90’s, the Salomon Brothers airline industry investor conferences in NY were THE place to see and be seen. If you couldn’t wrangle an invite to the conference itself you could always just hang out at the “after-conference” bar with such notables as Robert Crandall, Gordon Bethune, and Herb Kelleher. An experience that frequently rivaled that of the Conference itself. RIP Julius.

James Altschul
President
Aviation Advisory Service, Inc.

I will always be grateful to Julius for the kindness he showed me on a number of occasions.

Stephen Furlong
Senior Industry Analyst at Davy

A true legend. RIP

Karen Berg
Sales Strategy | Tech Transformation | Customer Success

He was always an engaging conversation during the networking time at THE WINGS CLUB FOUNDATION INC. meetings, and other aviation events. Loved to pick his brain on his perspectives and "if he ran the airline" scenarios. His knowledge and expertise will be missed!!

Chris Chiames
Communications executive and business leader.

A legend. When the industry had many.

David Berkowitz
Aviation Investment and Risk Advisory

The Dr. was indeed a larger than life figure. When I was starting out in the industry, the calls and visits with him were so inspiring and sometimes felt like what an audience with royalty must be like. And yes, his annual conferences at Salomon were irreverent, legendary, revealing, and one of the events that lit the fire for me to cover the aviation sector to this day. Go well, Dr. M.

Andrew Light
Head of Investor Relations

Julius was a true legend in aviation analysis and research. As a consultant, I relied on his research for many years and then, 28 years ago, he hired me into Salomon Brothers to focus on Europe. I had the honour and pleasure of working with him for 2 years on the privatisation of European legacy flag carrier airlines and the formation of low cost carriers in the region. RIP.

Helane Becker
Board Member; Member of the Executive Committee at Feliciano School of Business - Montclair State University

Thank you for sharing. Julius was a class act. He was always a gentleman. He was also respectful of his colleagues and competitors. This is truly the end of an era. RIP Dr. J.

Dan Reed
Communications Consultant & Freelance Writer (FORBES.com, Business INSIDER, other publications, books)

Dr. J was "The Man" when it came to airline industry knowledge, analysis, funny backstories, and common sense (which he often complained was sorely lacking in the industry). On top of being a "Great Interview," Julius was also a warm and caring person would made it a point of emphasis to actually get to know the many people, including journalists like me, as real people, not just faceless nodes along the information transaction highway. I've missed him in recent years. Sad that he is gone. But he'll not soon be forgotten.

Madhu Unnikrishnan
Journalist/Comms

Terrible news. He was a great analyst.
