SCOTT MCFADZEAN, 41, is the new CEO of London International Airport, coming to the position after spending 20 years at Diamond Aircraft. He grew up in Brantford and came to London in 1999 to study commercial aviation management at Western, the year that program launched. Later, he earned his commercial pilot license in the Western aviation program. He started at Diamond in 2002 as an intern and left as CEO, leaving the company with record sales, revenue and profit. Seeing a CEO position opening at the London International Airport, he was very excited about the opportunity to lead the airport to new heights. It was the perfect fit, as London has such a great community and so much opportunity and potential. He and wife, Roxanne, have two daughters. Scott enjoys a variety of sports, including skiing, season tickets to the Knights and also enjoys the GrandTheatre and other concerts and events.
Here is the NEAR TERM meeting schedule; May 8th & 29th June 12th & 26th Meetings will be hybrid with Observe only capability via ZOOM for those that can't make it in person.
