We’re carrying on a commitment to fostering meaningful relationships with airport neighbors,” Ghizlane Badawi, chief executive officer for AUS, said in a statement to the press. “On the heels of our busiest year on record and with years of improvement and expansion projects ahead, it is an exciting time for the airport. We want to continue to share our plans with the community, provide updates as we reach major milestones, answer their questions, and bring them along as we shape the future of AUS.”
