Mesa begins negotiations to hire executive director for Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (KIWA), Phoenix, Arizona

A city of Mesa employee is slated to be hired to replace outgoing Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Executive Director Lynn F. Kusy, officials said. His final day is expected to be March 15, according to the airport's website.

After a nationwide search, and following direction from the airport authority’s board of directors, Mesa City Manager Chris Brady and board counsel have decided to enter into negotiations with Jane Morris, Gateway Airport director of special projects, for the executive director position, according to a press release.

Ms. Morris is one of the finalists interviewed by the board, along with Casey Denny and Izzy Bonilla, to become the new executive director. Mr. Brady and staff will present a draft agreement with Ms. Morris to the board of directors for their consideration and possible action at a future board meeting, according to Brian Sexton, city of Mesa public information officer.

The airport was established in 1994 and is owned and operated by the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority, which consists of the Gila River Indian Community, Gilbert, Mesa, Phoenix, and Queen Creek. Gateway airport offers nonstop passenger service via Allegiant, Frontier, and Spirit Airlines with nonstop flights to over 35 cities nationwide. For more information, visit www.phxmesagateway.org.
