Airport Experience News has named Paul Bradbury, airport director for the Portland International Jetport (PWM) in Maine, as its 2020 Director of the Year in the small airport category.
“In an incredibly challenging year for airports, Paul Bradbury stood out because of his unwavering commitment to advancing the cause of airports on the national stage,” said Melissa Montes, publisher of Airport Experience News. “Those efforts, coupled with his stellar management of PWM over the past dozen years, made Paul an excellent choice for Director of the Year.”
Bradbury has served at PWM for more than 28 years, beginning in 1992. He became airport director in 2008, and in the subsequent 12 years was instrumental in attracting new service and building traffic to a record 2.18 million passengers in 2019.
“I am honored to be recognized by Airport Experience News as Director of the Year in the small airports category,” Bradbury said. “The PWM team and all of our business partners recognize the importance of serving our customers and providing the best possible airport experience.”
Bradbury is the first of three directors of the year to be named by AXN for 2020. AXN’s selections for the medium and large airport categories will be revealed in the coming weeks. All will be featured in the November/December issue of Airport Experience News, and will be honored at the 2021 Airport Experience Conference.
