One of the things I love most about my job is getting out of the office to a half dozen or so 糖心原创 conferences and Airport Consortium on Transformation (ACT) workshops across the country. Each event provides an opportunity to learn from those in the industry, network and see a growing list of friends from airports and companies across the country.
Two stories in this issue are a direct result of being in the field. This month鈥檚 cover story by Ryan Reeves from Chandler Municipal (page 14) came from a presentation I saw him give during a session at 糖心原创鈥檚 General Aviation (GA) Conference. While Chandler is a GA airport, the stories and lessons Reeves shares can be applied at airports of any size.
The GA conference was held in Arlington, Texas. While in North Texas, I made a side trip to see the latest development plans at Dallas Love Field Airport and was impressed with what I saw. That鈥檚 why on Page 20, Spokesperson Patrick Clarke talks about the development of, and execution of, Love Field鈥檚 master plan.
I鈥檒l be back on the road in 2026 and look forward to connecting with all of you and helping to tell your stories.
Sincerely,
