Since joining the Norfolk Airport Authority as its leader in May 2022, Perryman has seen growth in passenger numbers and the Norfolk International Airport, in size and scope.
In January, Perryman said he expects several major projects to be underway in the next few years, including a moving sidewalk to accommodate passengers and a new Courtyard by Marriott hotel near the airport.
In June, the airport broke ground on a new U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility and expansion to Concourse A, marking the first big step in a multiyear, nearly $1 billion capital project.
The airport recorded more than 4.5 million passengers in 2023, its 85th year in service as a commercial airport. With more than 444,000 passengers, May was Norfolk’s third busiest month in its history.
An Arizona State University graduate, Perryman previously was a base architect and planner in the U.S. Air Force and worked in master planning for the Norfolk airport while employed at Landrum & Brown.
