Awarded by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), it signifies that ATL employees and contractors have completed a specified amount of airport-specific training and continuing education using ANTN Digicast’s web-based training system.

“As we constantly work to ensure Hartsfield-Jackson is safe, efficient and sustainable in all aspects of the organization, we thank the American Association of Airport Executives for recognizing ATL with the 2020 Airport News and Training Network (ANTN) Digicast Excellence in Airport Training Award,” said Interim Airport General Manager Balram Bheodari.

“This recognition represents the hard work of our entire airport team who strive to deliver the best possible experience for our passengers every day.”

In an effort to promote all-virtual instruction for ATL employees and contractors, the airport began its Digicast subscription in June 2020.

ANTN Digicast training is designed for airport employees and tenants, such as airline workers and subcontractors who work on-site. airports that subscribe to ANTN Digicast have unlimited access to the service’s 300-plus training programs.
