Tampa International Airport (TPA)

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Meet Remon Metry, one of our Senior Traffic Specialists who keeps curbside traffic moving while greeting travelers with a smile. 🚗 Originally from Cairo, Egypt, Remon’s journey from studying archaeology to managing the movement of traffic in and out of the Airport is as fascinating as the history he loves. “When I help someone, especially someone who looks lost, I imagine it’s my mom or dad in that situation," Remon said. "It makes me feel proud when I can get them where they need to go.” Read how his passion for helping others and his pride in TPA make him a standout member of the Airport family. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ecsgTMw2
