Gregory B. Kelly has been named executive director of Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV).
“It is with great pleasure and high expectation that the commission announces the selection of Greg Kelly as the permanent executive director of the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport,” says Savannah Airport Commission Chairman Sylvester Formey. “Greg has worked tirelessly and quietly behind the scenes for years managing several of our most successful accomplishments.”
Kelly’s career at the airport began in 1989, when he was an intern. He became deputy director of maintenance in 1991 and held a variety of leadership positions at the airport since. He had been serving as acting executive director since July 1, when the former leader, Patrick Graham, retired.
“From the airfield and terminal to our diverse real estate holdings, Greg’s imprimatur is everywhere,” Formey continues. “With his attention to detail and keen sense for macro-level planning, he has earned the position. The commission is confident that under his administrative guidance and community outreach, our airport will maintain and exceed its reputation as a first class way to fly.”
