Leaves UK Airport After Six Years
United Kingdom-based airport
Operator TBI-Abertis Airports announced Wednesday the resignation
of Jon Horne as Managing Director of Cardiff International Airport.
Horne has been MD at Cardiff since November 2001.
"I shall be very sad to leave Cardiff International Airport and
especially the fantastic team I have worked with over the past six
years," Horne said. "It has been a great challenge and I am proud
of what we have achieved together. The airport has come a long way
in a short space of time and it also has a great future.
"I have enjoyed my time with TBI, and I am grateful for the
opportunity it gave me in Wales, but I have reached a point in my
career where I am looking for new challenges and these lie outside
the Group and may well even be outside the industry. I intend
spending some time to review my options before deciding on my next
steps."
Carlos del Río, Chief Executive of TBI-Abertis Airports
said, "Jon Horne is a hugely respected figure in our Group and in
the UK airports industry, and we will of course be sorry to see him
move on. He has made a highly valued contribution to Cardiff
International Airport and we wish him the very best in his future
career. News of a successor to Jon as MD of the Airport will follow
in the coming days."
Horne will leave TBI and the airport on October 31, 2007 --
exactly six years to the day from when he join the joined the
Group.
"The search for a successor is under way. Since it is likely
that a permanent appointee will not have been engaged by the end of
October, I have asked Bob Bullock, Group Business Development
Director of TBI-Abertis Airports, to step in as Managing Director
of the airport in the interim. Bob has a great deal of experience
in our industry, having been a commercial pilot, an air traffic
controller and Chief Executive of four different airports in the US
and Australia, including Orlando International Airport, Florida.
Cardiff International will thrive under his stewardship, and he
will be instrumental in handing over the airport to a permanent
successor."
