ALEXANDRIA, Va. (January 22, 2016) – Mr. Joseph Marana, A.A.E., Director Operations and Facilities, Fort Wayne International Airport, Fort Wayne, IN 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, Joseph had to successfully complete three phases of the accreditation process: (1) pass a 180-item multiple-choice examination, (2) fulfill a writing requirement, and (3) demonstrate, in the final interview by a panel of A.A.E.s, his knowledge of airport management, business administration, and general transportation economics. Joseph’s achievement attests to his ability to meet these stringent requirements and his experience in managing a public airport.
By fulfilling all the requirements leading to the title of Accredited Airport Executive, Joseph joins a select group of individuals who have earned the designation in the nearly six decades of the accreditation program’s existence.
