Morten S. Beyer, aviation consultant
Morten S. Beyer, 88, who worked in commercial aviation for more than 60 years as an airline manager, chief executive and industry consultant, died Oct. 21 at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington. He had pneumonia.
Early in his career, Mr. Beyer was a senior manager at several airlines including Trans World Airlines, Modern Air Transport and Capitol Airways. He was president of Johnson Flying Service when it was purchased by what became Evergreen International Airlines, a global air-cargo transportation company.
In 1974, Mr. Beyer established Avmark, an airline marketing and management service where he set standards for appraising used airplanes. His clients included Trans World, Continental and American airlines.
During airline deregulation in the 1980s, Mr. Beyer was tapped to help navigate the bankruptcies of several major airlines, including Braniff International Airways, Eastern Airlines and Pan American World Airways.

Mr. Beyer sold Avmark in 1993 and founded an aviation consulting company that is now known as Morten Beyer and Agnew. He retired in 2005.
Mr. Beyer, who was frequently cited as an authority on aviation, helped found the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading, one of the world's most influential commercial aircraft organizations.
Morten Sternoff Beyer was born in New York City and grew up in Spring Hill Farm, a Revolutionary War-era plantation in Virginia that was 12 miles west of the District. After graduating in 1943 from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, he began working for Pan Am in Miami.
Last year, he published a memoir, "Flying Higher."
His marriage to Jane Hartman ended in divorce. A daughter from his first marriage, Barbara Beyer, died in 2009.
Survivors include his wife 20 years, Catherine Frick Beyer of Washington; three children from his first marriage, Nancy Evans of Boston, James Beyer of Missoula, Mont., and William Beyer of Kalispell, Mont.; two stepdaughters, Catherine Randall of Baltimore and Carroll Harris of Norwalk, Conn; two brothers, Donald Beyer of Falls Church and Richard Beyer of New York; and 13 grandchildren.
