Aviation industry veteran Randall Walker joins Hudson advisory board

Randall Walker: “a most welcome addition” to Hudson Group’s advisory board

INTERNATIONAL. Hudson Group has announced that Randall H Walker has joined the company’s Advisory Board of Directors. Walker, who led McCarran International Airport as director of the Clark County Department of Aviation, retired from that post in June.

During Walker’s 16-year tenure as director, McCarran is said to have grown significantly, handling nearly 41.7 million passengers in 2012. He also oversaw the opening last year of Terminal 3, hailed as the largest capital expansion project in McCarran’s 65-year history.

In addition, in 2006 JD Power and Associates recognised McCarran for achieving the highest customer satisfaction among major North American airports, according to Hudson Group.

“Randy Walker is a most welcome addition to our advisory board. His vast airport management experience will help Hudson to better understand how airports think so that we can enhance customer service and become better partners with airports across North America,” said Hudson Group President & CEO Joe DiDomizio.

Walker commented: “I have had the pleasure of working with the Hudson team for the past ten years. They are a world class organisation with unlimited potential, and I look forward to contributing my ideas and suggestions through the advisory board.”

Walker earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Brigham Young University. He and his wife reside in Henderson, Nevada, where they raised their six children.
