The city of Livermore recently promoted Benedict “Benny” Stuth to permanent airport manager after he had been serving in the role on an interim basis since September 2023.
Stuth’s job is to oversee and manage the airport, ensuring compliance with all federal, state and local regulatory requirements, and providing technical and complex administrative support to city department heads and the City Council.
Stuth first joined the Livermore Municipal Airport team in March 2023 as assistant airport manager, city officials told Livermore Vine. Just a few months later, he was elevated to acting airport manager after the city had initially chosen a different candidate for the job who backed out at the last minute.
Stuth has been in the position ever since.
“Benny’s expansive knowledge of local airport management and FAA regulations has been essential to the Airport Land Use and Development Study project,” officials said.
Prior to joining the city, Stuth’s aviation management career included stops in Tuolumne County, Los Angeles, Alaska, Colorado, Tennessee, Monterey and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Stuth has also served on the board of directors for the Association of California Airports and he is an active member of both the Bay Area Airport Managers Association and the Southwest Chapter of the American Association of Airport Executives.
