Palo Alto, CA – After an extensive recruitment process that included a candidate interview panel comprised of City staff, airport users and a former airport manager, Public Works Director Mike Sartor announced that the City has selected Andrew J. Swanson as its new Airport Manager. This newly created Airport Manager position will oversee airport management and operations after the transfer of the Palo Alto Airport from the County of Santa Clara to the City later this year. Mr. Swanson began his new duties this week, with an annual salary of $128,000.
Currently, Santa Clara County operates the Palo Alto airport, one of the busiest in the Bay Area, through a lease with the City that ends in 2017. The County has indicated that it does not intend to renew its lease. As a result, the City is accelerating the transfer and expects to assume full responsibility for the Palo Alto Airport by December 2013.
"Andrew brings outstanding airport operations and facility management experience to Palo Alto as well as a strong customer service focus," said Sartor. “These skills will serve us well as we transition the airport to a new City venture.”
