Chris Rocheleau, who recently returned to NBAA as COO, was named CEO of Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA), effective October 4. Rocheleau succeeds Kevin Burke, who has led the association for nearly 13 years. Burke will remain as CEO emeritus through the end of the year.

Rocheleau had rejoined NBAA last month after spending 19 months as acting and then deputy administrator of the FAA. He has had a career with the FAA dating back nearly three decades, and also spent a stint in the early 2000s as a senior policy adviser to the then-nascent Transportation Security Administration, and from 2022 to early 2025 with NBAA.
