January General Membership Luncheon With Boise Airport Director Rebecca Hupp
Rebecca Hupp has served as the Boise Airport Director since April 2012. Under her leadership, the airport has experienced a period of unprecedented growth—both in the number of nonstop routes offered and in the number of passengers served, which has nearly doubled during her tenure. This exponential growth in passenger traffic led to BOI’s reclassification as a medium hub airport in 2021.
Rebecca is responsible for the day-to-day operation and long-term planning and development of Idaho’s primary commercial airport, which serves approximately four million passengers annually. Some of her key accomplishments include recruiting a $20 million-plus, 130,000-square-foot airline maintenance facility, attracting additional air service routes and frequencies, developing community coalitions, and expanding the airport’s parking garage and a variety of airfield improvements.
Hupp has served on many nonprofit boards and industry trade group organizations and received many recent awards, such as Idaho Business Review’s Women of the Year and CEO of Influence in 2020; Airport Experience News’s Director of the Year, Medium Airports Division; Boise Metro Chamber’s Travel Industry Excellence Award in 2021; and Boise Convention & Visitor’s Bureau’s “Spirit of Hospitality” winner at this year’s ROSE Awards.
