As we continue to invest in our facilities, grow air service, strengthen community connections, and develop our workforce for the future, Harry will play a key role in driving that momentum. We’re excited to welcome him to the team and look forward to what’s ahead.”
“I’m excited by the opportunity to work alongside the team to build on that strong foundation and help guide the continued growth of the region’s airports serving California’s capital region,” added Barrett. “I look forward to supporting SCDA’s capital development program, strengthening airline and community partnerships, and continuing to enhance the passenger experience across the airport system.”
