St. Louis, MO – Lambert Airport is getting a new boss.
Mayor Francis Slay has appointed Kevin Dolliole to the director's job.
Dolliole has headed up San Antonio's aviation department and recently oversaw a $29 million makeover at San Antonio International Airport.
He'll start his new job in St. Louis on May 2.
Fewer people board planes in San Antonio, but the airport there has gained passengers in recent years. Lambert saw numbers decline after American Airlines cut its schedule in half a few years ago.
Lambert's previous director, Leonard Griggs, retired last year.
