Iftikhar Ahmad, CEO of the Airport Corporation

Iftikhar Ahmad was tapped to run the Rhode Island Airport Corporation less than a year ago and has already nearly doubled the number of daily flights — from 17 to 33.

He has brought international flights with Norwegian Air and has also brought in new domestic carriers like Frontier.

Ahmad tells GoLocal LIVE that the success has been a team effort between the staff, the board of the corporation and top elected officials like Governor Gina Raimondo and U.S. Jack Reed.
