House welcomes new Columbia Airport Authority CEO Chris White
Summary
Members of the House were introduced to Chris White, the incoming CEO of the Columbia Airport Authority, who attended with senior airport staff; representatives welcomed the new leadership and said they look forward to working on local air service.
Members of the House of Representatives paused floor business to welcome Chris White as the new chief executive officer of the Columbia Airport Authority.
A member introduced White from the balcony, saying he comes "by way of, Charlotte Albemarle Airport" and noting prior work in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The introducer also named two airport executives in attendance: Kim, vice president of marketing and air service development, and Greg Hornsby, director of finance and administration. The introducer told members the authority conducted a nationwide search and called White "uniquely qualified to take the lead of our airport."
The speaker and others greeted the visitors and welcomed them to Columbia. The floor record contains expressions of appreciation for the authority's work to improve air service in the Midlands and across South Carolina but does not record any formal action, appointment vote, contract, or salary details on the floor.
House members and staff noted upcoming collaboration with the authority; no timeline or next steps were specified on the record.
