Airport Governance
The entity that governs BIL today is the Aviation and Transit Board. It is composed of seven members, each appointed for four-year terms. It is required of the position of a Board Member to possess the qualifications fit for the Mayor’s office. With the consent of the Council, the Mayor elects the Board Members. No Board Member may be reelected once his or her term expires. The purpose of the Aviation and Transit Board is not only to help govern the operations of the Airport, but also to act as a Citizen’s Advisory Board to the City Council. They are to make sure that City Policies are implemented and carried out. Shortcomings are to be reported and recommendations are to be made to the City Council.

Famous quotes containing the words airport and/or governance:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“He yaf me al the bridel in myn hand,
To han the governance of hous and land,
And of his tonge and his hand also;”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
