Lakeland, Florida city manager Shawn Sherrouse has appointed Adam Lunn as interim director of Lakeland Linder International Airport (LAL). Lunn, who joined LAL in 2011 and most recently served as assistant airport director, succeeds outgoing director Kris Hallstrand, who recently left to serve as director of operations at Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Center for Excellence.
“Adam will serve as interim airport director while city management and airport leadership evaluate the strong potential for his permanent appointment to the position,’ said Sherrouse. “I am confident that he will continue to provide the exceptional leadership and professionalism that have defined his career with the city.”
Sherrouse added that Lunn’s “expertise and dedication have been instrumental to the success of Lakeland Linder International Airport over the past 15 years. During his four years as assistant director, he has played a vital role in the airport’s financial and operational management, helping position the airport as a respected leader in the aviation industry.”
“I am both humbled and excited by this opportunity to serve as the interim airport director for Lakeland Linder International Airport,” said Lunn. “As one of the nation’s fastest growing and most dynamic airports, our team is ready to continue its mission of providing a safe and reliable airfield for our tenants, users, and the flying public. Most of all, I’m grateful to our teams, past and present, that have worked so hard to build the airport into what it is today, and to city manager Shawn Sherrouse for his belief in me and trust during this transitional period.”
