The Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA) Board of Commissioners, operators of Memphis International Airport (MEM), selected Terry Blue to be its next president and CEO, succeeding Scott Brockman when he retires December 31, 2023.
Blue joined MSCAA in 2015 and has more than 25 years of aviation experience. He came to Memphis from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) where he worked for seven years as deputy airport director and, later, interim airport director. He also worked for 10 years at Denver International Airport (DEN) in a number of roles, including aviation operations manager.
During his tenure at MSCAA, Blue has overseen a number of significant projects for MEM, including the modernization of the B concourse, construction of MEM’s new Mission Support Center and the new Centralized Deicing Facility (CDF).
“The MSCAA board understands the importance of the role the Airport Authority CEO plays in the Memphis community,” says Michael Keeney, chairman of the MSCAA Board of commissioners. “We engaged in extensive discussion and utilized a third-party firm to evaluate potential candidates, and Terry Blue clearly emerged as the ideal person to lead the Airport Authority.”
Keeney also praised Brockman’s tenure overseeing MEM, saying, “Scott leaves big shoes to fill but has provided a sound blueprint for success for Terry and the MSCAA team.”
