Syracuse, New York –Syracuse Hancock International Airport would like passengers to join us in celebrating National Aviation Day.
The holiday, that celebrates the development of aviation, was established in 1939 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. President Roosevelt issued a presidential proclamation which designated the anniversary of Orville Wright's birthday to be National Aviation Day.
Although National Aviation Day is August 19th, the airport’s celebration will start Thursday, August 17th and run through Saturday, August 19th. Ticketed passengers that are in the terminal during those days will have the opportunity to spin a wheel to win a number of prizes, grab an aviation themed treat, or get their pictures taken at our new selfie spot.
“It is important for us to stop and remember how important aviation has been in shaping the history and trajectory of the United States, and that is what we intend to do by celebrating National Aviation Day,” said Christina Callahan, Executive Director.
Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
