The Bishop International Airport Authority voted unanimously at a meeting on Tuesday to appoint Nino Sapone as its permanent airport director of Bishop International Airport (FNT), in Flint, MI.
He had previously been performing the job in an interim capacity.
“We are excited to have Nino at the helm,” says Chairperson Win Cooper. “Bishop Airport has many positive things happening. Nino is at the top of the list. We welcome our new director.”
After serving as vice president of airport operations at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) for a time, Sapone moved to FNT following the airport’s nationwide search. He has over 25 years of industry experience and will assume his role immediately.
“I am honored and humbled to be given this amazing opportunity to lead a talented team at FNT and I look forward to moving forward together,” says Sapone. “An airport is so often the first and last impression that travelers have of the community and region, and so one must be committed to delivering outstanding operational performance while exceeding customer service expectations.”
