DFW Airport has been the nation’s second busiest airport and its CEO is among the highest-paid in the country.
even as total airline capacity is down due to an industrywide shortage of pilots and rising ticket prices.
“Over the past year, we witnessed a robust return to travel, and DFW Airport was prepared for it,” Gloria Tarpley, vice chair for DFW’s governing board, said in a statement. “We greeted nearly as many customers as in 2019 and had to manage ever-changing government mandates, supply chain issues, labor shortages, and despite it all, we did so while providing an elevated experience to our customers and by staying true to the strategic plan.
At DFW, Donohue presides over a budget that will reach a record of about $1.2 billion next year along with about 2,500 employees. But that’s only a fraction of the total enterprise as more than 60,000 people work at the airport. About half of those work for Fort Worth-based American Airlines, which counts DFW as its biggest hub.
Donohue is among the nation’s highest-paid airport executives, but there is little correlation between what airport leaders get paid and airport size.
