The director of the Portland International Jetport has stepped down to take another job out of state.
Jeff Shultes, who has been director of the jetport for 16 years, and is credited with bringing low-cost carriers to the city, is stepping down to take a similar job at Bradley International Airport outside Hartford, Conn., according to the Associated Press. Paul Bradbury, the assistant manager at the jetport, will become its director, the AP said.
The news adds to the shake up in Portland’s transportation leadership. A month ago city officials announced plans to lay off the city’s transportation manager, Jeff Monroe, to save money.
