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.
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
