The president and CEO of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA) will step down at the end of this year.
Scott Brockman joined the Airport Authority, which oversees operations of Memphis International Airport (MEM), in 2003. He served as executive vice president and then as the airport’s Chief Operating Officer. In 2014, Brockman was named as the airport’s CEO.
In his 37-year career, Brockman also served in executive roles with Tucson International Airport, Des Moines International Airport, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.
“Scott’s impact on the success of MEM cannot be understated,” said Michael Keeney, chairman of the MSCAA. “He will leave an ongoing legacy of success, having navigated the airport through significant challenges such as the transition to [origin and destination] operations, the pandemic, and the transformational concourse modernization project.”
In his time as CEO, Brockman has overseen a number of historic milestones and projects for the airport including:
• Delta Air Line’s de-hub of the airport in 2013
• Reinventing the airport into an original and destination airport.
• Overseeing one of the busiest cargo airports in the world.
• Bringing in new airlines and new destinations to help keep airfare lower.
• Modernizing Concourse B, a $245 million construction project, that opened in February.
• Competed the $55 million Mission Support Center, which houses airfield operations, maintenance, police, procurement, and warehouse activities.
The MSCAA board will now begin the process of selecting Brockman’s successor.
