  • 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 from Christina Cassotis at Pittsburgh International Airport 🤓 ✈️

    View profile for Christina Cassotis

    CEO Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), Corporate Board Member/TEDx & Keynote Speaker/C-Suite Advisor

    Here's a fun 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 The place where airplanes park is not called "the tarmac," though they can park on tarmac. Tarmac is a thing, not a place designation. 𝗔𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗻. The apron area is the surface in the 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮 (AOA)* where aircraft park and are serviced (refueled, loaded with cargo, and/or boarded by passengers). *The AOA includes runways, taxiways, apron areas, and all unpaved surfaces within the airport’s perimeter fence. Definitions come from the Federal Aviation Administration and are used by all of us in the industry so we understand each other when we use certain terms. Tarmac is a brand of bituminous binder used to surface roads, airport runways, and parking areas... Basically, tarmac is asphalt. Welsh inventor Edgar Purnell Hooley invented it in 1902. Hooley registered the trademark in 1903 after founding Tar Macadam Syndicate Ltd. The word "tarmac" is short for "tar-macadam", which is a combination of the words "tar" and "macadam". "Macadam" refers to John L. McAdam,  he engineered the process of compacting a layer of small stone into a solid mass on a convex, well-drained roadbed. 𝘱.𝘴.

  • 🔹KEY WEST INT’L TAKES A COLLABORATIVE AND ADAPTIVE APPROACH TO WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT🔹 Swallows and plovers and herons, oh my!

As part of AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT Magazine's Industry Insider series, our CEO Graham Corfield calls on the aviation industry to do the right thing when it comes to the way we treat passengers with disabilities. It’s time for the aviation industry to step up to the plate and lead, rather than being led, on this issue. Then, and only then, can we truly claim to offer all of our passengers the best experience.
