Oswego, NY – After serving as Public Information Officer and Interim Syracuse Aviation Commissioner, Christina Reale was recently appointed permanently to the Commissioner position, which includes overall management of the Syracuse airport. In this conversation, she provides information about the plans for renovating the airport, and changing its governance structure from being city controlled to operating under an independent regional authority. She also discusses the airport's fiscal health, the pricing at the airport for both concessions and flights, the growing role of women in aviation management, and the large-scale changes in passengers' airport experiences, post 9-11.

Grant Reeher is a Political Science Professor and Senior Research Associate at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
