The Gary/Chicago International Airport has appointed Daniel Vicari as executive director. Vicari succeeds Colonel Duane Hayden, who served as executive director for the last four years.
The GCIA, which is Chicago’s third official airport, says Vicari previously served as executive director from 2015 to 2018. He was most recently executive director of the Gary Sanitary District.
“This is an exciting time for the airport as it continues to expand its amenities and improve its offerings to our customers and tenants alike, and I look forward to the airport continuing to play a critical role as an economic engine for the region,” said Vicari. “GCIA possesses a number of advantages that will benefit the City of Gary, Northwest Indiana and the Chicago Metropolitan Area in the coming years and I look forward to hitting the ground running as we continue to improve the airports offerings.”
The airport says Vicari returns to the airport at a time of significant growth and improvement.
Over the past decade, the airport say it has seen significant investment, including new terminals and hangers and its U.S. Customs and Border Protection Facility.
