Aviation Industry Veteran Joins Glendale Team

The city of Glendale has hired Kenn Potts as the new airport administrator for the Glendale Municipal Airport (KGEU). Glendale’s current airport administrator, Walt Fix, A.A.E., retired on Aug. 3.

Potts began with the city on July 27, and Fix will stay on as a contract employee for several months to assist with the transition.

Potts has spent nearly nine years with the Arizona Department of Transportation, in the Multi Modal Division’s Aeronautics Group, and his career of more than 25 years includes managing airports in Michigan, Vermont, and North Carolina. A Glendale resident, he holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Western Michigan University, his pilot’s license and is a member of the American Association of Airport Executives.

“Kenn will be a great addition to our Public Works team,” said Jack Friedline, Public Works Director. “His experience in airport management and his team approach to working with our airport partners and customers will benefit the city of Glendale in many ways.”
