in late November, Vancouver Airport
Authority president and
CEO Craig Rich-
mond power walks, and talks, down
the main corridor of the international
departures terminal—past a navy-clad
Lufthansa crew and snaking queues at

Seoul-bound f lights. Richmond, who
heads Canada's second-busiest airport
(behind Toronto's Pearson), is respon-

YVR this year and the 23,000 people who
work, directly or indirectly, for the air-
port each day.
