Mike Landguth of Chattanooga Metropolitan AirportAfter seven years at the Chattanooga airport‘s controls, Mike Landguth is heading to North Carolina to direct the Raleigh-Durham airport that serves about 15 times as many passengers a year.
“I have spent most of my career within the aviation industry, and Raleigh-Durham has a stellar reputation,” Landguth, 42, said.
Landguth came to Chattanooga from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in 1999. He was vice president of operations at the Chattanooga airport before his promotion to the top spot in 2004.
His salary in Chattanooga this year is $149,212. His new pay in Raleigh wasn’t announced.
Dan Jacobson, Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority chairman, said a search will begin immediately for Landguth’s successor. A national search is planned.
