The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority announced today that it is launching a nationwide search for a new executive director to succeed Dan Feger and oversee day-to-day operations at Burbank Bob Hope Airport.

Feger will remain as executive director until his successor starts work and then will assume a newly created position, Director of Development Services, where he will concentrate on shepherding the planning, design, financing, and construction of a 14-gate Replacement Terminal.

“Recognizing the critical importance of the Replacement Terminal for the future of this Airport, the City of Burbank, and the region, and considering Dan’s wealth of experience accumulated over his nearly 30 years working here, we have decided to create this new position for him and his skills. Doing so will allow Dan to focus all his energies on making the Replacement Terminal a reality,” said Frank Quintero, president of the Burbank-GlendalePasadena Airport Authority. “When you think about the amount of work that will have to go into the planning and construction of not only the 14-gate Replacement Terminal, but also all of the ancillary airport improvements, such as reconfiguring the Runway Safety Area and building the replacement Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) station, it is a full-time job, I can’t think of a better individual better suited for this role than Dan Feger.

“No one knows the ins and outs of this Airport as well as Dan,” added Airport Commissioner Bill Wiggins, one of the three Burbank representatives on the nine-member Airport Authority Commission. “That’s why he is the right choice to oversee this crucial project.”

Feger started working at the Airport in 1988 as the Airport engineer. He became executive director in 2008 after the passing of then-executive director Dios Marrero. As the Airport coped with the challenges posed by the post-9/11 landscape and economic downturn, Feger has been a steady hand at the helm. During his tenure, he has overseen numerous projects at the Airport such as acquisition and clearance of Lockheed’s B-6 Property, and construction of the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC), the fuel farm yard, Taxiway D and the Valet Center, just to name a few.

“It has been a privilege to work at Burbank Bob Hope Airport and I look forward to continuing on here in this new capacity,” said Feger, who has set a retirement date of May 1, 2018. “The people of this region, and Burbank residents in particular, deserve nothing but the finest Airport facility and that is what I intend to give them with the 14-gate Replacement Terminal.”

The Airport Authority is currently preparing a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the 14-gate Replacement Terminal. That document, which is anticipated to be released for public review on April 29, will examine the potential environmental impacts the 14-gate Replacement Terminal might have on the community and will suggest possible mitigation measures to lessen those impacts.

The goal is to achieve certification of the DEIR and entitlement of the project this summer so that a Measure B vote of the Burbank electorate can be placed in the November 8, 2016 ballot to put the issue before the largest number of Burbank voters.
