Windsor Locks, Conn./WTIC Radio - The head of Connecticut Airport Authority has announced his retirement.
Kevin Dillon says he intends to step down next January.
He has spent nearly 50 years in aviation, the last dozen leading the CAA as executive director.
Dillon helped lead the authority through the Covid-19 pandemic and oversaw millions of dollars worth of upgrades and improvements at Bradley International Airport and elsewhere.
“Together, we have achieved significant milestones for Bradley International Airport and our general aviation airports. As my tenure with the CAA winds down, I want to thank the CAA Board of Directors and my team for their hard work over the years. I have every confidence that the organization’s success will continue into the future. Leading an organization in this community has been a privilege, and I also want to express my sincere thanks to our local leaders and partners.”
The CAA board will choose a successor over the next few months.
