    Welcome to the December issue of the Metropolitan Airport News. This month’s issue highlights the contributions that local airports make to the local economy and the community. Airports are a financial engine rooted in mass employment through every level and trade. Metropolitan Airport News is a strong proponent for education and employment that leads highly qualified local candidates to engage in the opportunities that are so abundant and diverse within the airport community. Major airports are like small cities that need every type of employee and service. There are fantastic opportunities for anyone who would like to work in a fast-paced environment, and our new website, AirportWorker.com, is an excellent resource for matching opportunities with candidates.

    December is full of holiday events to enjoy, and one of the most magical events is the JFK Airport Rotary Club Kids Party with JetBlue. There is nothing like seeing the look on the kid’s faces when they enter the JetBlue hangar. It’s a spectacular event full of food, fun, gifts, and a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus. There are plenty of events geared toward those of you contributing to the airports’ success every day. Check out the calendar to see what’s happening around the airport and how to get involved.

    I’ll see you around the airports!
