Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) named Thomas Rafter as its new director, replacing Sean Scanlon, who recently was elected as Connecticut comptroller. Rafter most recently served as an airport manager for more than a decade at Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK), the second busiest airport in Massachusetts.
“I’m delighted to join Tweed New Haven Airport in this role, and I plan to hit the ground running to help continue the exciting changes taking place at the airport,” Rafter said. “It’s clear that Southern Connecticut wants and deserves a modern, convenient airport and I plan to work closely with Avelo Airlines and our neighboring community members to help deliver flyers a top-notch experience.”
