Meijs will be responsible for the development of the organization, most crucially leading the airport’s $300 million redevelopment, which will roll out over a period of 5 years.

 I look forward to contribute to new successes of the international airport of Aruba and I am really impressed by all that has been achieved so far by James Fazio and his team,” Meijs said in a statement.

Meijs had most recently served as the CEO of Eindhoven Airport in The Netherlands, which has grown in recent years to become the second largest airport in the country.
