Mobile Airport Authority Executive Director Resigns

0:00It's March 25th. This is Birmingham News today, powered by AI. Andy Wilson, the executive director of the mobile airport authority, is stepping down after less than a year on the job. He started in late October of 2024, brought in specifically for his background in construction and airport operations during a key phase. For the Brookley Terminal Project, Wilson played a big role in getting that new terminal back on budget and on track. His aviation know-how helped push the project towards substantial completion this fall, setting it up well for the future. Local leaders have praised his work. Airport Chairman Sandy Stimson called it a personal choice for Wilson to focus more on family in Florida and said he'll stay available for advice. Mayor Spiro Chereo Godes highlighted Wilson's strong ties with federal partners and thanked the board for keeping things steady. The board plans to name an acting executive director on Wednesday to handle the transition smoothly. Airport construction and daily operations at Mobile International will keep moving forward
