Though the search for a new

airport manager at Falcon Field began late, it appears that they are doing

everything they can to have someone in place by the beginning of 2004.

At Wednesday night's meeting

of the Peachtree City Airport Authority, the criteria of what they were

looking for in an airport manager was approved, as was the ad seeking

a new manager. The airport authority will be accepting resumes and applications

until Dec. 6, 2003.

The Airport Authority is seeking

a person who has experience in airport management and will be responsible

for five primary areas: airport operations, development and maintenance;

airport budgets, programs and finances; community outreach; airport marketing

and business development; and management of the FBO operation. The position

reports to the Peachtree City Airport Authority.

Applicants must be accredited

or certified though the American Association of Airport Executives as

either a certified member or an accredited airport executive. The applicant

must also have experience in aviation, public administration, public speaking

and team building and management.

be sent to Vern Darley/Search Committee Peachtree City/Falcon Field, P.O.

Box 2526, Peachtree City, Ga. 30269 or via e-mail to [email protected].
