Chattanooga Airport CEO Hart retiring; Cameron named successor
Chattanooga Airport Chief Executive Officer Terry Hart on Monday said he's retiring this summer from the post he has held for nearly 12 years, and officials named a Lovell Field veteran to fill the CEO chair.
April Cameron, 46, vice president of finance for the past 20 years, was chosen by the Airport Authority as the new president and chief executive, effective Aug. 1.
Hart, 62, was an American Eagle executive when he came to Chattanooga almost 16 years ago as vice president of operations before taking the CEO job in 2011, and he said he plans to return to Chicago.
The airport chief, with 43 years in aviation, said in an interview that Cameron will do "a very good job for the organization. She cares and has a very big heart."
