Gordon Duke is retiring as the CEO and president of the Prince George Airport Authority.

His last day will be Dec. 31.

Duke came to the PGAA in 2019 and led it through the pandemic.

“Gordon has been a steady and dedicated leader during a time of significant change,” said Derek Dougherty, PGAA board chair, in the announcement. “His commitment to the success of the airport and its community has been exemplary. As we prepare for his departure, the board has formed a search committee to identify our next CEO, a task we do not take lightly.”

This included building a meaningful partnership with the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, the PGAA noted.

"It has been a privilege to lead the Prince George Airport Authority over the past five years," said Duke. "I am deeply proud of the progress we have made as an organization, and the incredible partnerships we've formed. While I look forward to new chapters in my life, I will always cherish my time at PGAA and the community that supported our journey."

The search for a new CEO will begin in the weeks ahead.
