Huntsville Airport’s New Era Begins | Huntsville News

Huntsville International Airport is set for a new era as veteran CEO Butch Roberts, who led the airport through four decades of explosive growth, prepares to retire January 1, 2027—with a transition beginning December 1. Under his leadership, the airport secured federal approval for commercial space landings, added nonstop flights to New York and Las Vegas, brought in Allegiant Air, and saw passenger traffic surge over 40%. Major upgrades include a $12M Signature Aviation expansion, new maintenance facilities, terminal renovations, its first Starbucks, upgraded fire stations, and a massive parking garage. Amy Murphree, the Port’s chief legal officer since 2019, will take the helm on December 1, praised by the board for her readiness and Roberts himself for her leadership potential. A seamless handoff after a landmark career. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
