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. The airport is in the middle of a nearly $1 billion, multiyear capital project. Major projects slated to be finished by the end of the year or early next year include an expansion to Concourse A and a new U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility. The airport recorded more than 4.8 million passengers in 2024 — its third consecutive year of record passenger traffic. In April, JetBlue became the latest commercial airline to start operating out of the airport, offering seasonal daily nonstop service between Norfolk and Boston. 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. Perryman serves on the GO Virginia Region 5 Council and the Hampton Roads Transporta- tion Planning Organization’s Regional Transit Advisory Panel. In November 2024, he received the Hampton Road Chamber’s Visionary Award.
