Airport boss to leave
20.05.10
Edinburgh Airport boss Gordon Dewar has handed in his notice after agreeing to take the job of chief executive of Bahrain Airport. BAA has ‘launched a search process’ to appoint his successor, a spokesman said.
Mr Dewar, from Edinburgh, took over as managing director of the airport almost two years ago after moving from rival Glasgow. The 42-year-old has overseen significant investment and expansion at the airport, with a new £40m departure lounge and security facility opening this summer. Reports from Bahrain say he will take up his new role in July.
He said: ‘It has been my privilege to work at the airport of my home city and to see it prosper and develop. While I am sad to leave a great team and a great city, I'm excited about my new role and am sure Edinburgh Airport will enjoy continued success.’
BAA chief executive Colin Matthews said: ‘Gordon has made a substantial contribution and will be leaving a healthy airport that is performing well in difficult times. We will be looking to appoint someone with the drive and ambition to build on the momentum created in recent months and wish Gordon well in his new role.’
