Aberdeen Airport Managing Director Kevin Brown has this morning confirmed he is set to leave his post, after more than three years in the top job.

He is moving to the capital to the role of Managing Director at Edinburgh Airport, taking over from the outgoing MD Gordon Dewar. He is due to leave at the end of July.

Mr Brown has been in his current post at Aberdeen since 2007, but joined BAA back in 2002 in the Engineering Department at Heathrow. He began working at Aberdeen in November 2003 and after a variety of roles he became Managing Director in 2007.

Speaking just after it was confirmed he said “I will be sad to leave Aberdeen Airport, where I have so many great memories and have met so many dedicated and passionate people. It is a great airport that communities across the North-east, and beyond, should be rightly proud of.

“I am pleased to be staying within the BAA group and am looking forward to the new challenge. There can be no doubt that there is a lot to get my teeth into this new position, not least helping make sure Edinburgh Airport remains productive and competitive. Despite significant growth in recent months, and while other airports have suffered during the recession, we cannot become complacent and everyone is aware that staying at the top of our game will involve a great deal of work.”
