Don Bryant, chair of the airport's board of directors, said the group undertook an extensive search for new leadership.
“Scott is a visionary leader with an excellent track record in aviation having lead organizations through periods of enormous challenge, innovation and growth...We are pleased that we found a London based executive with the energy, passion and experience to continue with our strategic vision to make London International Airport the 'gateway' in southwestern Ontario!”
Bryant also thanked Seabrook for his contributions and wished him well in his retirement.
