Bill Restall takes helm as interim president of the CAC

April 29, Ottawa – The Canadian Airports Council has announced that, in addition to his duties as Saskatoon Airport Authority President and CEO, William A. Restall has been named acting president of the Canadian Airports Council.

Currently the association's chair, Mr. Restall has served on the board of the CAC since 2004, and will act in an interim capacity after the departure of outgoing president and CEO, Jim Facette.

One of the first executives accredited by the International Association of Airport Executives, Mr. Restall has 36 years experience in air transportation.
