Melbourne International Airport (MLB) Executive Director Greg
Donovan, AAE, announced a re-alignment of airport staff
responsibilities including the promotion of key airport management
positions. “We are fortunate to have the highest caliber of airport
managers already in house. It’s time to elevate them and to broaden
the scope of their duties to reflect the airport’s current and
anticipated growth in air service, safety needs, capital
development and international tenant relations.”

airport which provides daily service from Delta Air Lines
and American Airlines. Past president of the Florida
Airports Council, he brings in-depth airport operations
experience including Houston Hobby Airport (HOU) which
handles 11 million passengers annually and as executive director of

double-digit passenger increases for first quarter 2015, with the
goal of 500,000 passengers in the coming year. The Melbourne
Airport Authority unanimously approved Donovan’s plan at its
April 22nd meeting.
