executive vice president of information technology, who discussed TIA’ s past and future impact within the community and the global aviation industry. In 1971, TIA became the first airport in the world to install an automated people mover. Since then, TIA has been one of the world’ s highest ranked airports for customer service satisfaction.
Leaders like Illustrato and Stephens are striving to keep TIA on top by anticipating future needs that will result from the growing number of passengers traveling through TIA each year. In 2018, TIA will complete the first phase of its 2012 Master Plan: construction of a 55,000-squarefoot expansion of the main terminal, a 1.4-mile people mover, and a 2.6-million-squarefoot rental car center. Before touring this one billion dollar project, which has been responsible for 9,000 jobs, BLI members viewed an exciting presentation by Stephens on the next two phases, which will include a five-star hotel, a gas station, and multi-purpose facilities. These additions will bring even more expansion and innovation to TIA.
Thanks to the planning and insight of leaders at SWFWMD, BALS, and TIA, our community’ s future is bright.
