L.A./Palmdale Airport Chief Named

0

Robert Gluck was appointed Tuesday to the position of airport manager for L.A./Palmdale Regional Airport, the city’s airport agency announced.


The news comes as Los Angeles area airports say they expect this summer to be the busiest flying season in more than five years.


The Palmdale airport is set to begin flight service June 7 after more than a year without offering passenger service. With two daily United Express flights to San Francisco, the airport’s commissioners hope to establish Palmdale as a smaller but viable alternative to the increasingly crowded Los Angeles-area airports.


Gluck has worked for the City of Los Angeles for more than 30 years. He has been serving as the airport maintenance superintendent at L.A./Ontario International Airport, where he has overseen construction, landscape and custodial operations since 1997.


The Palmdale airport, located about 60 miles northeast of Los Angeles, is one of four owned by Los Angeles World Airports, along with Los Angeles International, Van Nuys and Ontario airports.
