✈️💡 We had a great time at today's EntreCon Workshop Series: " Behind the Gates at PNS."

Matt Coughlin and his team shared how far our airport has come and highlighted the exciting growth happening throughout our community. We had the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes with a special tour of the airport, getting an inside look at areas most travelers never see.

From learning how baggage claim operations work to seeing how emergencies are handled alongside the Fire Department, every stop offered a new appreciation for the people and planning that keep our airport running safely and efficiently. We also got to hear exciting updates about new terminals and flight routes coming in this year.

Thank you to the airport team for their hospitality and for sharing their vision for the future. Thank you to everyone that attended today. It's inspiring to see the investment being made in Pensacola and the impact it will have on our community for years to come. Pensacola International Airport is a proud sponsor of this years EntreCon and we couldn't be more appreciative!
