The 238-hectare municipally-owned facility is now being operated by Loomex Group.
The City of Dryden announced last November it was turning over operations to the Peterborough-based aviation services firm. The five-year contract was awarded in December.
In a Jan. 31 news release from Loomex, Coffey is described as a “life-long learner whose community involvement in tourism and marketing will offer travelers a welcomed customer experience to the Dryden Regional Airport.”
“We are confident in Tiffany to ensure a safe operating environment for aircraft and economic development responsibilities for Dryden Regional Airport,” said Loomex President-CEO Trent Gervais in a statement.
The airport is serviced by Bearskin Airlines. The main tenant is the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, which operates a district fire management base.
