Dave Schaumburg, AAE
David J. Schaumburg has served as the principal deputy
director for the Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF)
since March 2017. He oversees all operations and maintenance
functions at SGF.
He started his career working line service at an FBO, eventually
becoming a licensed private pilot and A&P mechanic, working
in operations and management at Kansas City International
Airport (MCI) and Denton Enterprise Airport, and attaining the
status of Accredited Airport Executive.
Age: 38
Hometown: Lake Ozark,
Missouri
Alma Mater: College of the
Ozarks
Someone I look up to in
the industry: I have had the
pleasure of working for and
alongside some incredibly
impactful professionals. Two
of them are Brian Weiler,
director of aviation at SGF,
and Craig Williams, airport
director at Kalamazoo.
Schaumburg has earned the respect of his diverse employee
group and is always willing to help them do what it takes to
get the job done. He holds himself to very high standards
and brought innovation, professionalism and enthusiasm to
this position.
He streamlined preventive maintenance and improved
reliability of the airport's jet bridges and baggage system.
He also worked with the city's public works department to
donate and install hundreds of native shrubs around a new
economy parking lot to make it more attractive and reduce
drive off incidents.
Schaumburg also worked with the FAA regional office to better
position and eventually receive a major federal discretionary

grant to complete a needed taxiway reconstruction project at
SGF, which was delivered on time and within budget.
" Working at a growing small hub airport like SGF gives you
exposure to nearly all facets of aviation. We have commercial
service, cargo, military, corporate and general aviation all on
the same field which all play into the dynamic workplace that
I really enjoy, " he said. " While my job is primarily focused in
the office environment, I still have plenty of reasons to get
outside the office either out on the airfield or off the airport
doing community involvement. "
Schaumburg uses innovation to improve airport operations
and efficiency on a regular basis. This included using a lull
in activity during the pandemic to complete several needed
maintenance projects that would have been difficult during
normal operations.
He developed and implemented policies and procedures
during the pandemic to keep employees safe while also
ensuring continuity of operations to keep the airport open
during some very dark days. As a result, SGF fared better than
many similar airports and is rebounding from a strong position.
