Flight Services & Systems would like to recognize Nelson Doubarere (left) and Taylor Samuels (right) for reporting suspicious behavior.
During a British Airways flight operation on January 17th, 2020 at
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), Taylor noticed ground
handlers from a neighboring airline near the baggage cart. While it is not
unusual to have ground handlers near the gate during a British Airways flight,
it was their location to the baggage cart that first tipped Taylor off. He
witnessed them throw something into the baggage cart. Upon inspecting the
baggage cart, Taylor notified Nelson of the incident. Nelson also inspected the
baggage cart and notified AVCOM and FSS General Manager, Jennifer Ferstl, of
the incident. The package ended up being of interest to law enforcement
officers and they were called on the scene to remove the package. Flight
Services & Systems would like to thank Nelson and Taylor for their efforts
in aviation safety and security.
