Bradley International Airport route development director to join Delhi airport

Hartford, CT: High-level management continues to turn over at Bradley International Airport with the resignation Wednesday of the marketing and route development director.
Kiran Jain, who joined Bradley in 2004 and is credited with attracting the airport's first, if short-lived, nonstop passenger service to Europe, will leave Dec. 11 for a similar job at Delhi International Airport in India.
Bradley, operated by the state Department of Transportation, has been led mainly by a series of temporary chief administrators over the past five years. In April, Administrator Jeff Schultes resigned after less than a year on the job.
Jain said she decided to leave because the job at privately owned Delhi International Airport represents a major professional and personal opportunity. Last year, about 24 million passengers used the airport, in the national capital of New Delhi, compared with fewer than 7 million at Bradley. Her parents and husband are from India. Jain was born and raised in Kenya.
"This is an awesome opportunity to be in a country with a growing economy and infrastructure that is being built and replaced at a rapid pace," said Jain, now of Manchester.
"On a personal level, it's an experience that I hope my children will enjoy," she said.
Jain came to Bradley from Stewart International Airport in New York.
