that the fantastic news that US Airways will be joining us next
year, and you can see why I am so enthusiastic to lead the
Airport which not only puts Birmingham on the map as the

Richard Heard. Joe and the rest of the Executive Team will
continue the work which has seen Birmingham receive
worldwide acclaim in recent months"
