Memphis International Airport has hired a former American Airlines network planner to help increase service at the airport.

The Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority has tapped Will Livsey to serve as its new Senior Manager of Air Service Research and Development.

Livsey will be responsible for researching, developing and executing a significant increase in air service at Memphis International, which has lost dozens of flights following the downsizing of Delta Airlines service at the airport.

Livsey will work to maintain the airports current level of service and identify markets for additional air service and routes. He will also serve as a liaison between Mid-South passengers and the airlines, including meeting with regional corporate, leisure and convention travel executives in order to help the airport target appropriate destinations.

Livsey, a Memphis-area native, holds a bachelors degree in language and world business from the University of Tennessee and a Master of Business Administration in aviation from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

He has worked for American Airlines since 2008, most recently as a senior analyst for Network Development, where he was responsible for new domestic route identification and forecasting.

In October, the value of the pension fund that pays benefits to Shelby County retirees stayed around the $1.1 billion mark, where its been for most of 2014.

Thats according to the most current figures, released this week, showing the funds value having climbed to $1.12 billion, up from a little more than $1 billion in October 2013.

As of Oct. 31, the largest percentage asset allocation in the plan consisted of U.S. stocks, and their performance has helped the funds asset value.
