The search for Okaloosa County’s new airports director has drawn dozens of applicants from across the country. 

“Currently we have 89 applications from 20 different states,” county Human Resources Director Kay Godwin said.

The position is still being advertised on the county’s website.

Among the candidates is Tracy Stage, the county’s current deputy airports director.

The new director will oversee Northwest Florida Regional Airport, Destin Airport and Bob Sikes Airport in Crestview. The job has a salary range of $79,913 to $145,350.

Eligible applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in airport management, aviation administration, business administration, public administration or a related field. They also must have seven years’ experience related to civilian airports.

County commissioners have formed a screening committee to begin reviewing the applications.

Committee members are Godwin; Commissioner Kelly Windes, the board’s liaison to the airports department; Dino Sinopoli, chairman of the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce’s airport committee; Destin City Manager Maryann Ustick; and Bill Johnson, executive director of the Florida Airports Council.

The new director will take over for Greg Donovan, who was the airports director from 2008 to March 1. Donovan left Okaloosa to take over the director’s post at Pensacola International Airport, where he previously worked as assistant director.
