Some air staff turned up for rich governor (6)

I believe the answer is:

satrap

(Other definitions for satrap that I've seen before include "petty tyrant" , "Raps at the governor in ancient Persia" , "local ruler" , "Old Persian governor took a seat to start" , "Old Persian ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
