The new manager of the Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport isn’t winging it when it comes to the future.

“I want to grow the airport correctly and at the right pace,” said Michael Biggs, who took his seat in the main office Aug. 19.

Biggs, who grew up outside South London and worked at a small airport before earning a bachelor’s degree in aviation management, moved to the United States 11 years ago.

He most recently worked as the contracting officer’s technical assistant and project manager at the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in Washington, D.C.

That authority oversees Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Biggs said on Thursday that he was responsible for all the runways and taxiways at Dulles.
