SPOKANE, Wash – A new face will lead Spokane’s airports into the future.
The Spokane Airport Board voted to select David Haring as the new CEO of Spokane Airports, overseeing the Spokane International Airport and Felts Field.
Haring has 20 years experience in the airport industry.
Most recently, he’s worked as executive director of Lincoln Airport in Nebraska.
“David has a proven track record of building cohesive, dynamic teams and understands there is a direct connection between the strength of our airports and the strength of our regional economy,” said Spokane Airport Board Chair Ezra Eckhardt. “The Board is confident his fresh perspective, coupled with his extensive commercial and general aviation experience and keen focus on customer service will build on the strong foundation airport staff have set to further enhance the air travel experience for the Spokane-Coeur d’Alene region.”
Haring succeeds Larry Krauter who left Spokane for a similar role in the Cincinnati area.
Krauter had led the airports in Spokane since 2011.
The City of Spokane and Spokane Count approved the selection as well.
