David Haring joins an elite group achieving the requirements of the American Association of Airport Executives, one of the nation’s oldest professional groups for airport leaders.
LINCOLN, Neb. — April 8, 2020 — David Haring, executive director of the Lincoln Airport Authority, has been awarded the distinction of Accredited Airport Executive (A.A.E.) by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE).
To qualify for his distinction, Haring had to successfully complete three phases of the accreditation process:
- Pass a 180-item, multiple-choice examination.
- Fulfill a writing requirement.
- Demonstrate, in the final interview by a panel of A.A.E.s, his knowledge of airport management, business administration and general transportation economics.
His achievement attests to his ability to meet the AAAE’s stringent requirements and his experience in managing a public airport. By fulfilling all the requirements leading to the title of Accredited Airport Executive, Haring joins a select group of individuals who have earned the designation in the six-plus decades of the accreditation program’s existence. At present, fewer than 10% of AAAE’s members throughout the country are active accredited airport executives.
