Jean Rich (nee: Sanguesa, died in 1991) was an American businesswoman. She was the owner of Rich international,[1] making her an aviation pioneer, as one of the few women to own an airline in the United States.
Personal life[edit]
The daughter of Spanish pilot David Sanguesa and of a Peruvian aristocrat mother, Rich became a pilot herself at a young age before entering the airline industry and brokering the sale of an airplane before age 21.
Months after brokering a deal with George Batchelor (owner of Arrow Air and former owner of Capitol Air) that gave Rich International Airlines access to Batchelor's deal with the United States Air Mobility Command to fly soldiers, Rich died of abdominal cancer.[1]
Rich's second husband William Meenan, was her personal representative and president of Rich International when she died. By her will, she left him 40 percent of the airline and her children 60 percent (to be divided equally into 15 percent for each of her four children). This proved troublesome later on, because there were disputes later on between Meenan and Rich's kids, over the probate of her estate and over the airline's management. Rich's children sought to have Meenan removed as personal representative, until an agreement was reached on June 21, 1993, where all sides agreed that the airline would be put up for sale.[2]
