The Alaska Department of Transportation is searching for a new manager for the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
In 2022, former Lt. Gov. Craig Campbell agreed to be the interim manager of the airport after the position opened up upon the departure of the previous airport manager, Jim Szczesniak, in February 2022.
Campbell told a group of aviation professionals earlier this month that he would aim for stepping aside in May.
Campbell spent 35 years in the United States Air Force and Alaska Air National Guard. A certified air traffic controller, he served as chief air traffic controller for Vandenberg Air Force Base and Elmendorf Air Force Base. He retired as a three-star general.
He was the commissioner for the Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, including the Alaska National Guard, under Gov. Frank Murkowski and Gov. Sarah Palin. He was appointed third in succession and became lieutenant governor when Palin resigned and Sean Parnell stepped into the Governor’s Office in July of 2009. Campbell also served for 10 years on the Anchorage Assembly.
