University Park Airport was recently recognized among the best airports in the nation with two prestigious awards for excellence in employee training and marketing services.
The American Association of Airport Executives recognized University Park Airport with the ANTN Digicast Excellence in Airport Training Award for training completed in 2014.
This award signifies that airport employees and others working at each facility have completed a specified amount of federally mandated airport-specific and continuing education training using ANTN Digicast’s Web-based training system. Only 92 airports in the nation received this award.
In addition, University Park Airport was recognized as a runner-up in the Routes Marketing Awards for airports that serve fewer than 4 million passengers annually. The annual Routes Marketing Awards are highly-regarded as the most prestigious awards in the industry, as they are voted for and judged by the airline network planning community. The awards provide the airline community with the chance to have their say as to which airport or tourism authority they think provides the best overall marketing services.
“We are thrilled to have achieved this level of recognition from these important industry organizations,” says James Meyer, executive director of the Centre County Airport Authority. “We are always working to improve the experience for our passengers and it’s gratifying to know that we rank among the nation’s best.”
“Recognition by the AAAE is particularly important given the critical role of compliance with mandated training in areas such as operations, aircraft rescue and firefighting, security, customer service and more,” adds Bryan Rodgers, director of the University Park Airport. “We are committed to keeping our training for airport personnel and contractors to the highest standards, and we’re pleased to receive this industry award for our efforts.”
