Juan Antonio (Tony) Nevarez is no longer with the City of El Paso, leaving his role as director of El Paso International Airport vacant. The departure means the airport’s top administrative post is now open and the city will move forward with filling that leadership position.
The city has opened a recruitment process to identify a new airport director. That search will determine who is chosen to manage daily operations and guide the long-term direction of the airport, a critical hub for regional travel and commerce.
The airport director is responsible for a wide range of duties, including overseeing operations, coordinating with airlines and federal partners, managing budgets and capital projects, and ensuring safety and customer service standards. Finding a qualified replacement will be important for maintaining continuity of service for passengers and airline partners.
During the recruitment and selection period, airport operations are expected to continue under existing management teams. The city’s formal hiring process should clarify interim leadership arrangements, application requirements, and the timeline for appointing a permanent director.
Residents and travelers who rely on El Paso International Airport can watch for official announcements from city leadership and airport officials for updates on the search and any changes in management. Those interested in the position should monitor the city’s recruitment postings for application details when they become available.
