Albany International Airport (April 28th, 2009)

On Tuesday April 28Th the class went to the Albany International Airport. I didn't have the chance to go because i was home sick. By doing the looking up things on the Internet and knowing what i already knew about the airport, i was able to fill out the sheet. What i did find out and thought was very interesting was how the just finished a multi-million dollar re-development project of over 230,000 square feet. I found out that this was their biggest mission and they completed it. The international airport wants to make your air travel the best it can possibly be. The questions i would have asked if i went would have been to an employee asking them what would be the hardest thing about working here. From hearing what my classmates had to tell me and what i learned from the Internet, the hardest thing would be keeping the customer happy and safe, but obviously every employee would have different opinions. Another question i would have asked would have been, how many planes come in and out on a regular day? I learned that usually 75 planes go in and out in a day. Overall i learned that to keep this airport up and running smoothly it takes 1200 employees.
