Airport Experience® News - Leadership 2022

LEADERSHIP ISSUE 2022

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

Dear Valued Readers,

Welcome to the Inaugural Airport Experience Leadership Issue. It’s hard to believe that we are already at the end of another year - it feels like we were all just together in Orlando for AXC 2022. As we look to wrap up the year it is timely for us to stop and reflect on the industry’s numerous leaders who have led with a steady hand through this year of recovery. Our team envisioned this issue as a spotlight on the various facets of Leadership that are helping to guide our industry forward. In this special issue we celebrate the vision, determination, influence and innovation of leaders from many of the industry’s airports and companies. As you turn the pages you will garner perspective from long-tenured leaders, emerging leaders, front line leaders, women in leadership, and much more. The creativity and passion that these individuals and organizations put into sharing their ethos with us is amazing. You will also get insights from leaders of industry associations who are advocating for the betterment of airports and airport concessions programs. As I continue to lead the AX Team through recovery and revitalization, I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment of gratitude for all our partners. Without their support, the AXN media offering and the annual AX Conference would not be possible. To our advisory boards, advertisers, sponsors, exhibitors and supporters, I extend a big Thank You for your continued support of AXN and our mission to keep the industry connected. As we turn the calendar to 2023, AXN will continue to bring together all the various players of our industry as we collectively work toward a more robust, vibrant and engaging offer for the traveling public.

Warmest,

Melissa K. Montes Vice President & Publisher Airport Experience News
