We were saddened to learn of the passing of former Director of Centennial Airport, Robert Olislagers this past week. Robert was highly respected and used his position as a community leader to develop The Centennial Airport into the essential regional asset it is today. Robert’s successful 21 years as Director at one of the busiest corporate and general aviation airports in the US contributed immeasurably to enriching Denver South. While at the airport, he worked to restore federal funding to Centennial Airport, which had been lost in 1999, tripled the airport’s asset value, and raised its yearly economic impact from $815 million in 2008 to $2.1 billion in 2020. While serving on the Denver South Board of Directors, Robert embodied the board’s mission; his participation helped Denver South as an organization and region reach higher and achieve more than ever. We feel fortunate to have known and worked with Robert, his legacy will have a lasting impact and will be remembered with fondness by all.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Olislagers, former Director of Centennial Airport, who passed away this morning after his battle with pancreatic cancer. Robert was a beloved leader in the aviation community, acting as the longest-serving Director of Centennial Airport for over 20 years before retiring in 2021. His impact on the airport and the broader aviation industry is immeasurable. During his tenure, Robert’s leadership and vision helped shape Centennial Airport into one of the most successful and respected general aviation airports in the country. His legacy includes countless accomplishments, accolades, and awards. He served as Chair of the Colorado Aeronautics Board, held the title of Past President of both the Southwest and Northwest Chapters of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), and contributed significantly to numerous AAAE Boards and Committees. His efforts were recognized through various prestigious awards, including the AAAE Distinguished Service Award, the Airport Partnership Award, the National Aviation Transportation Association Capt. Eldridge Lifetime Achievement Award, and honors from the University Aviation Association. After retiring from Centennial Airport, Robert continued his dedication to aviation as Senior Coordinator of the Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions (EAGLE) program, working toward a lead-free future for general aviation by 2030. In recognition of his lifelong contributions, Robert was inducted into the Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame in 2021. Beyond his professional achievements, Robert will be remembered for his kindness, unwavering support for his colleagues, and deep love for aviation. His influence will continue to be felt for years to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Marilyn, during this difficult time. Robert’s legacy of leadership, passion, and dedication will forever be a part of Centennial Airport and the aviation community.
