There’s a new CEO at Lansing’s Capital Region International Airport. We talk with Wayne Sieloff about his plans.

Lansing’s Capital Region International Airport got a new Chief Executive Officer on Monday. Wayne Sieloff comes to Lansing after spending four years as vice president for the Wayne County Airport Authority, which runs both Detroit Metropolitan Airport and Willow Run Airport.

He also has served in elected office, including president of the Board of Education in Trenton and as mayor of Trenton.

Current State’s Scott Pohl goes to Capital Region International Airport to meet the man now in charge of attracting business and travelers to the airport.

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
