Hawthorne Global Aviation Services Hosted Over 450 Aircraft During the NFL Championship Game Week at Its Atlanta Cobb County International (KRYY) Location
ATLANTA, February 27, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Sports fans from around the world descended on Atlanta for the big game, and Hawthorne Global Aviation Services played a major role in managing the flood of air traffic at its Atlanta Cobb County International Airport (KRYY) location.
"Coordinating the arrival and disposition of over four hundred and fifty aircraft was just part of the challenge," says Hawthorne Global Aviation Services General Manager, David Kucko. "We also made sure that every VIP passenger and crew member received impeccable service during their stay."
The FBO's services included: arranging ground transportation, providing pilot and passenger lounges, concierge services, on-site catering, full-time police security, 45 experienced line service technicians, increased customer care agents and more. Kucko revealed that over a year of planning went into preparation for the event.
"Post-game operations tested our team with a mass influx of aircraft departures," recalls Hawthorne's President and CEO, Bryon Burbage. "Arrivals were spread out over a week, so incoming operations were well-timed and without incident. But when Tom Brady finally hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, everyone wanted to get out of town as quickly as possible, and it was our job to make that happen smoothly and efficiently. Our entire team pulled together and offered our VIP guests a seamless experience."
