Airport director leaving post: Pensacola International (KPNS), Florida

Pensacola International Airport Director Melinda Crawford is leaving her post to accept a similar job in Charlottesville, Va.

 Crawford told the News Journal this morning she will remain airport director in Pensacola until mid-February.

“My husband and I have always wanted to live in that part of the country,” she said.
 

Crawford is married to Jearil Crawford, a retired military veteran and former Bay County Sheriff’s deputy.

Charlottesville’s airport handles about 400,000 passengers, less than a third of Pensacola’s 1.5 million annual passengers.

Hired in 2002 as the airport’s finance director, Crawford was named director in December 2009 by former City Manager Al Coby.

Crawford succeeded Frank Miller, who accepted a job as director of San Antonio International Airport.

During her nearly three-year tenure as director Crawford has overseen a multi-million dollar remodeling of the airport terminal building and grounds.

She also has been instrumental in securing new air service by United Airlines, and additional air service from American Airlines and US Airways.
