Pinellas County has named Mark Sprague the next director of St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE). Sprague, who previously served as deputy director and interim director of the airport, has also worked as an airline transport pilot for Comair and Spirit airlines as well as in airport operations at both Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD).
“Mark melds diverse work experience in the pilot seat, the boardroom and the community to keep our airport operations safe, efficient and productive,” said Pinellas County administrator Barry A. Burton. “His expertise in operational analytics, emergency response, FAA and TSA compliance, and stakeholder engagement positions him to lead PIE into its next phase of growth and service excellence.”
