On December 9th, 2021, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) team was excited to welcome back British Airways. Operations had ceased about two years ago due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They have recently restarted with three flights a day at MSY. Great job to our Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport team for successfully welcoming back British Airways!
FSS Announces Winners for the Days of Service Without Incident Contest

Three stations are being recognized with a cash prize for their work.

China Cargos at SEA
Our General Manager Zach Cox of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport received a call the other day from the China Cargos office in Los Angeles, California. The phone call was regarding an FAA audit on December 3rd, 2021, and one of our agents Lorenzo Lizama. China Cargos wanted to inform Zach that FSS passed everything they were looking for during the FAA audit. They also discussed how satisfied they were with the communication used regarding the WFS ground handling issue.
