    I hope all is going well for you, your families, and your colleagues and that you feel the hope and renewal that Spring brings. 

    This month our feature article, The T4 Connection Engineering a Bridge to Community & Sustainability, is an interview with Roel Huinink, President & CEO of JFKIAT, the company that manages Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. He leads Terminal 4’s dedicated management team and is responsible for developing, communicating, and executing strategic and tactical plans for T4. We are pleased to get to know Roel better through this interview and understand what it takes to deliver an excellent customer and employee experience at New York’s busiest air terminal. 

    During this period of extensive airport redevelopment, it seems that T4 has been redeveloping the entire time they have been in business, always striving to be safe and sustainable while keeping up with the industry’s high demands.

    This past month provided a lot of engaging and informative events at the airports, and I hope you were able to participate. April is no different; there are many opportunities to network and socialize. Be sure to look into our most iconic airport event, the JFK Rotary Club “Run the Runway” 5K. This year’s race is shaping up to be the biggest yet!

    Don’t forget to check the Metropolitan Airport News online calendar for the most up-to-date reference for airport events.

    There is so much going on at the airports for 2023. Get involved with A New JFK; there, you will find out about all the airport projects that are going on. There are opportunities for companies of every size. Check our CAO for open positions as well as the Metropolitan Airport News job board. Many companies are hiring at all levels. Whether looking for a new career or just entering the workforce, there is no shortage of positions for you to apply for.

    I hope you enjoy the issue; I’ll see you around the airports!
