Mayor Parker names new aviation director
MAYOR ANNISE PARKER yesterday announced her choice to head the Houston Airport System: Mario C. Diaz, who comes to Houston from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, where he served as deputy general manager. Before that, Diaz worked for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, overseeing a number of redevelopment and financing projects at Newark Liberty International Airport, the other major hub for Houston-based Continental Airlines.
The position opened when former Mayor Bill White reportedly forced out longtime director Richard Vacar after various shadowy offshore business interests created by Vacar drew scrutiny from local media.
