Seven students from Reid Ross Classical School had the opportunity to shadow City staff: LaMonica Pegrem, Onesti Garofalo, Caitlin Patterson, Faith Pittman, Daisha Osborn, Centrell Williams, Jordyn Baker, William Evans, and Di'Arra Baker-Myers.

Airport Awarded with Training Excellence Award The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) has recognized the Fayetteville Regional Airport with an ANTN Digicast Excellence in Airport Training Award for training completed in 2016. The AAAE is the world's largest professional organization representing men and women who work at public-use commercial and general aviation airports. The award granted to the Fayetteville Regional Airport was based on the number of trainings completed by Airport staff and tenants.

Training completed by the Fayetteville Regional Airport staff and tenants included topics such as airport administration, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF), environment, safety/security, customer service and FAA-required training. "The Fayetteville Regional Airport (FAY) is proud to receive this award from the American Association of Airport Executives for Training Excellence," said Toney Coleman, Fayetteville Regional Airport Deputy Director. "It reflects our continuing effort to train the multi-disciplined Airport stakeholders (fire, police, airlines, general aviation, tower controllers, etc.) in those classes required to ensure that FAY remains operational efficient, safe and secure."
