This is due to the fact that we are now covering the Air Guard shifts with weekends and midnights when there is no guard weekends. We have been successful in working with Washington to secure more military traffic through American airports vs. Canadian. 2. Airport construction updates. The domestic terminal transformation has resulted in positive comments. Our terminal went from being a dark terminal to much brighter by adding natural lighting. We have new wayfinding and signage, and more standard features throughout the terminal. We have completed the front of the terminal and renamed the terminal in honor of previous Director D’Errico. We even have finally a sign on the front of the terminal! Our next project will be updated the second floor of the terminal and doing some cosmetic work. We will be expanding the gate 3 passenger boarding to increase space for the hold room and install a new Jetway. The Sheridan Corporation has been awarded this bid! Meeting Adjoined.
