In his new role, Moon will focus on leading aviation construction project teams and collaborating with project owners and trade partners to efficiently construct, renovate, and upgrade airports in Arizona and throughout the Southwest. He recently led the team that successfully completed the $310-million expansion of the eighth concourse in Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which included the addition of eight new gates serving Southwest Airlines passengers and the addition of new baggage handling systems.
