A man with 20 years of experience in the aviation industry has been selected to take over the London International Airport's top job.
Scott McFadzean was named the airport's new president and CEO by the Board of Directors of the Greater London International Airport Authority (GLIAA) on Tuesday. He replaces Mike Seabrook, who announced his retirement earlier this year after holding the position for a decade.
“Scott is a visionary leader with an excellent track record in aviation having led organizations through periods of enormous challenge, innovation and growth” said Don Bryant, GLIAA board chair. “We are pleased that we found a London based executive with the energy, passion and experience to continue with our strategic vision to make London International Airport the “gateway” in southwestern Ontario."
McFadzean has spent the last five years as the chief executive at Diamond Aircraft. He is a licensed pilot and a graduate of Western University commercial aviation management program, with graduate studies at Georgetown University, ESADE Business School and Harvard University.
“I am excited to lead the London International Airport through this difficult pandemic period and position the organization for strong and continued growth," said McFadzean. "I look forward to being an integral part of the London community and contributing to further growth for the City of London and the surrounding region.”
McFadzean begins his new role as airport president and CEO on January 31.
