A new face will soon be at the helm of the Regina airport.

Dick Graham will take over as the new president and CEO of the Regina Airport Authority on March 23.

A native of Regina, Graham has spent the past 20 years travelling the country as a senior manager of various mining and natural gas companies.

Graham says his main focus in the months ahead will be maintaining growth at the airport, which is in the midst of a major renovation and expansion.

He will succeed outgoing airport head Jim Hunter, who is departing April 30.
