Maureen Riley, executive director of Salt Lake City International Airport, has been named the 2015 director of the year for large airports by Airport Revenue News magazine.
"Maureen Riley's work to improve SLC, her contributions to the aviation industry and the tremendous respect by her peers, made her a unanimous choice for the ARN editorial team," said Ramon Lo, publisher of Airport Revenue News. Riley is featured on the cover of the December-January issue of the publication.
The magazine said she was chosen particularly for her role in supervising the $1.8 billion terminal redevelopment program that will replace terminal, concourse, rental car and parking facilities over the next eight to 10 years.
Riley also is chairwoman of the Airports Council International-North America, an organization that advocates for policies and issues that affect the aviation industry.
"I am honored by this recognition and accept the award on behalf of the dedicated professionals and partners that make up the SLC team," Riley said. "We consistently strive to enhance the customer experience at Salt Lake City International Airport and are working to deliver a state-of-the-art terminal in 2020."
