Tampa International Airport (TPA)

GOING FOR THE GREEN: Earlier this week, members of TPA’s Planning and Development team accepted the Environmental Achievement Award from Airports Council International - North America (ACI-NA) for work on Phase 1 of the Airport’s Master Plan, including TPA’s Rental Car Center, SkyConnect Train, Main Terminal Expansion and surrounding roadway improvements. The series of projects is credited with removing millions of vehicles off TPA’s roadways and reducing carbon emissions. ?

WE REMEMBER: This morning, we held a ceremony in honor of those who lost their lives 23 years ago today. We will never forget. ????

AARRRRRR YA READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?! ???? Our friends at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Discover Airlines just announced a new partnership making Discover the team’s official airline in Germany!
