A Labradorian has been appointed as the new president of the Atlantic Canada Airports Association.

Goronwy Price, the CEO and general manager of the Goose Bay Airport Corporation, has been appointed to the position to help move local airports beyond what he calls a very “challenging 16 months.”

Price joined Goose Bay Airport in 2007 following two decades of serving in senior management positions in the tourism and recreation fields.

He has served as a director with the association which represents 13 airports in the Atlantic region.
