Gary/Chicago International Airport Manager Delbert Brown has resigned his position to move back to Detroit to spend more time with his family, according to a statement issued by the airport Tuesday.
Brown was hired to run the airport by AvPorts, the airport's private operator, in August 2014. Brown was director of Detroit City Airport from 2002 to 2010.
During his year in Gary, Brown was in charge when the Gary Air Show returned after a two-year hiatus. He also implemented new reporting procedures and oversaw a 33 percent increase in aircraft operations at the airport, according to Tuesday's statement.
“I thank Delbert for his work this past year through the transition of the public-private partnership, and laying the foundation for continued growth at Gary/Chicago International Airport,” said AvPorts President and CEO Ozzie Moore.
Brown resigned from his job at Detroit City Airport in 2010 after an audit showed financial discrepancies and questionable contracts at the airport, according to Detroit-area news reports at the time. Mayor Dave Bing appointed Terrence King, a group executive at the Bing Group, to run the airport after Brown's departure.
AvPorts will advertise the manager's position nationwide. Airport director Dan Vicari remains onboard to manage the public-private partnership agreement with AvPorts and its parent company.
