Glasgow boss moves to Edinburgh Airport
16.07.08
The man who guided Glasgow Airport through last year's terror attack is to take over the reins at Edinburgh Airport, it has been announced. Gordon Dewar, 41, is to start his new role in September, making him the third person in the post in just 18 months. Amanda McMillan is to take over as managing director of Glasgow Airport.
Mr Dewar, who is from Edinburgh and only joined BAA in February last year, will take over at Edinburgh Airport from David Johnston, who is moving to a group role with airport operator BAA, as group procurement director. Mr Johnston, was in the airport's hot seat for less than a year having taken over from Richard Jeffrey, who had been in the post for six years.
Before joining BAA, Mr Dewar worked for transport consultancy group Halcrow and among the projects he worked on was creating the Edinburgh's road traffic greenways. In a statement he said: 'Having been born and brought up in Edinburgh and having spent most of my working life in the capital, I am looking forward to returning to my home city to manage Edinburgh Airport, which is crucial to the capital's future success.'
‘With a rapidly growing network of international routes and an ambitious programme of investment, I am confident we can continue to provide an airport of which Scotland's capital city can be proud.’
