CAK Happenings
Renato "Ren" Camacho, AAE, PE, PTOE
President & CEO, Akron-Canton Airport
Your thoughts may be similar - 2021 vacation plans cannot come soon enough! With all that we have been through over the last year, our quality of life, ability to visit family face-to-face, and renewed exploration has never been more important. As the youngest of seven siblings, we always looked forward to that July family vacation in Puerto Rico. While there was excitement in the destination and what the vacation offered as a respite from ‘city life’, the early planning and anticipation of the trip was just as rewarding. These days, further discovering our beautiful country has been a recent focus. The booking of places to stay, airline reservations, car rentals, and sights to see are things I love to plan for, as all have to line up for a safe and enjoyable experience.
At CAK you can confidently know that we are putting you first throughout your travel experience. Whether you’re planning a warm weather vacation, time on the slopes, or business travel as those activities resume, our facility remains a safe, modern, and seamless way to get there. In addition, as vaccinations roll out over the next few months, CAK will be ready when you are.
I welcome the chance for feedback – please message me with any questions or comments. I have already started thinking of some exciting places to go to as part of my 2021 travel plans through CAK – how about you?
Remain healthy,

We are excited to add another Northeast Ohio community partnership here at CAK. We can’t thank our former contract holder, MSE International, enough for their support and commitment to CAK over the years, and wish them well. UCG is a family-owned Northeast Ohio based Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE).
Elevating the Travel Experience
We've implemented a number of health enhancements to make the convenient travel experience even better. NanoSeptic Self-Cleaning Surfaces by NanoTouch Materials can be found on common touchpoints around CAK including TSA screening bins.
We are the first facility in the nation to line TSA screening bins with NanoSeptic Self-Cleaning Film. Each TSA screening bin is lined with film that turns prominent touchpoints on the bin into continuously self-cleaning surfaces.
We are committed to being at the forefront of future technologies.
