Birmingham International Airport is delighted to announce that its new Chief Executive Officer, Paul Kehoe, has joined today.
 
Paul brings with him a wealth of experience in the aviation industry, having worked in it for some 25 years. His previous experience encompasses military air traffic control, British Aerospace, Serco Aviation and his most recent roles at Bristol and Luton Airports.
 
Paul Kehoe, commenting on his new role, said: “I am looking forward to working alongside the Board, Management Team, Staff and Stakeholders here at Birmingham.
 
“I have joined the Airport at a very exciting time, with the new International Pier under construction, an extension to the Multi Storey Car Park under way, and the recent opening of two new hotels. Added to that the fantastic news that US Airlines will be joining us next year, and you can see why I am so enthusiastic to lead the Airport which not only puts Birmingham on the map as the second City, but also links the Midlands with the rest of the World - showing that it means business.
 
“My goal and passion is to drive the business forward with the support of my team to uphold our mission to be the Best Regional Airport in Europe.”
 
John Hudson, Chairman of Birmingham International Airport, commented: “On behalf of the Board I welcome Paul to Birmingham. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge behind him that will benefit Birmingham and with the support of the super team that is already here, will ensure that Birmingham goes from strength to strength.
 
“The Board also want to thank Joe Kelly for his commitment, hard work and professionalism over the last 21 months as he kept the business stable following the sudden death of Richard Heard. Joe and the rest of the Executive Team will continue the work which has seen Birmingham receive worldwide acclaim in recent months.”
