Former Leeds Bradford Airport boss takes AOA role
20.06.08
The Airport Operators Association (AOA) has announced the appointment of Ed Anderson as their new Executive Chairman with immediate effect. He replaces outgoing AOA Chairman Neil Pakey, who has been combining his role as Chairman with his position as the Deputy CEO of the Peel Airport’s Group for the last 3 years and has just been appointed as President of FARE, the Federation of European Airports.
An AOA spokesman said: 'As the Managing Director of Leeds Bradford Airport between 1997 and 2007, Ed brings valuable experience of managing a successful and growing airport to his new post. During his tenure, the number of passengers handled trebled from 1 million to almost 3 million, alongside a considerable investment in airport infrastructure.'
Mr Anderson said: ‘Speaking for Britain’s airports is an enormous privilege. I relish this opportunity to make the case for growing, sustainable airports. Strategic long-term decisions on future airport capacity are needed now if aviation is to continue its vital contribution to the UK’s economic wellbeing.'
‘My experience running airports has given me firm confidence in our industry’s ability to deliver a high-quality service for our millions of passengers. I look forward to championing the cause of one of Britain’s most important and valuable industry sectors.’
Mr Pakey remains active on the AOA Board in the role of Deputy Chairman.
