Welcome to the October issue of Metropolitan Airport News. Following a record-breaking summer, with temperatures finally cooling down, it is starting to feel like fall. It’s my absolute favorite time of year for so many reasons, not the least of which is the beautiful show Mother Nature puts on in the Northeast. It’s a great time to do a little leaf peeping out East on Long Island or just about anywhere upstate. The weather is beautiful, and countless communities are celebrating the season with vibrant fall events.
This month’s issue introduces us to a few of the very resourceful individuals at our airports who get things moved all over the world. And not just basic things, very unique things like horses, classic cars, helicopters, and concert equipment for some of music’s biggest names. I’m amazed at how I can order something online and have it at my door within a few hours or a day or two; these companies have figured out how to do that on a grand scale. It takes operational excellence, a lifetime of experience, and a robust global network to make it happen.
Coupled with the interesting things that are shipped, we spoke to six local industry experts, leaders in their fields. They are just a few of the very impressive women who ensure successful movements happen day in and day out. Their hard work, persistence, ingenuity, and sheer determination have earned them spots at the highest levels of their companies. Learning about the journeys of others is a powerful source of inspiration that can fuel our own paths to success.
With the holiday season kicking off, we’re excited to share our latest Non-Rev Traveler article. Join Jonathan Katz as he takes you on a delightful journey through the Christmas Markets in Cologne, Germany. You won’t want to miss his charming experiences.
I hope you remain safe and will get a chance to get out there and enjoy the cooler days and local events with your friends and family!
