What best business practices did you learn in 2020 and what did you do to be creative? To say it in a few words: “Never be afraid to pivot to meet the growing demands of our passengers and fulfill business objectives.”

The pandemic brought many challenges and uncertainty in the aviation industry. We focused on creating strategies and implementing health and safety protocols throughout the airport to bring a sense of comfort to travelers during the pandemic period. We communicated our plan our website and social media. We saw our passenger volumes increase and received appreciation from passengers based on new programs.
