The Jacksonville Municipal Airport has a familiar face as the new manager. Chastin Saxer is returning to the airport as manager after leaving the post in October of last year.
Chairman of the Jacksonville Airport Authority Board of Commissioners, Tim Heady says Saxer had been with the airport for approximately 20 years, serving the last 14 as manager.
In October Saxer left to pursue a new career opportunity Heady says after a couple of months though, Saxer found the new position was not a good fit for him and he stated started to miss the airport. Heady says the size of the Jacksonville airport calls for some special requirements to manage.

Shastin Saxer, was named manager at the airport after a meeting Tuesday of the Jacksonville Airport Authority.
Until he resigned in October to explore another job opportunity, Saxer had been with the airport for 20 years 14 of them as manager.
Saxer asked to return, authority President Tim Heady said, noting that it was an easy decision to make because Saxer consistently did an outstanding job his first time in the role, Heady said.
“We would’ve been hard pressed to find someone with Shastin’s knowledge and experience going forward, so it made it an even easier decision to bring him back on board,” Heady said.
