“I am very humbled to win this award knowing how many great people work in this industry. After being in the business for only a short period of time, it proves that dedication and hard works pays off... When I first joined ATS back in 2014, it was just supposed to be a fun summer job. I never expected to make a career out of it… but here I am, six years and three positions later. Sometimes you need to try different things, to understand what you really want.”

“Winning the Pride of Ground Handling Award has certainly given word-class recognition to our good work and grown confidence among our stakeholders.

We should acknowledge our unsung heroes behind every good passenger experience.”
