  • This Was a Year of Heavy Lifts and Major Milestones at Tampa
    his was a year of heavy lifts and major milestones at Tampa International Airport. While Tconstruction crews made remarkable progress on the Airport’s historic $1 billion expansion, the Airport celebrated higher passenger numbers, new domestic and international routes and a year of ever-stronger revenue and finances. TPA celebrated a year of transformation while maintaining its strong commitment to passenger experience and closed out a busy 2016 ranked again among the best airports in North America. Check out a year of growth and change at America’s favorite airport! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //EXECUTIVE MESSAGE from Chairman, Robert Watkins This has been a year of phenomenal growth for the Airport. Revenues exceeded $200 million for the second year in a row. Meanwhile, nearly two dozen new concessions opened this year, and we’ve made significant progress on our expansion, with the consolidated rental car center and people-mover guideway taking shape and much of the terminal expansion completed. This $1 billion project not only is changing the face of the Airport, but is supporting local businesses and creating jobs. More than 95 percent of the nearly 400 contractors and subcontractors on the job are based in Florida or have offices in the state, and when construction was at its peak, nearly 2,000 workers were busy on Airport construction sites. The Airport’s concessions overhaul means local businesses will sell their products in Airport shops, and locally-owned restaurants will offer a taste of Tampa Bay for years to come. This year the airport earned a double-A rating from Fitch Ratings, making it the fourth bond-rating agency to show that level of confidence in the Aviation Authority’s financial health.

PETERSBURG-TAMPA AIRBOAT LINE: 90 DAYS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD OF AVIATION by Thomas Reilly The city of St. Petersburg can legitimately take credit for many firsts. One of the most important, yet least known, is being the birthplace of commercial aviation. On January 1, 1914, on the sandy shores of Tampa Bay, the world’s first scheduled passenger airline service was inaugurated. Those directly responsible for the airline were Percival Elliott Fansler, Thomas Wesley Benoist and Antony Habersack Jannus, but several forward-thinking citizens of St. Petersburg, such as L.A. Whitney and Noel Mitchell, provided crucial assistance. Nevertheless, almost from the beginning, Tony Jannus received almost exclusive credit for the inaugural flight.

I was a young man then, two years out of college with a wife and two sons, Johnny, almost two, and Justin, barely a month old. My life was full of endless possibilities and uncertainties. However, I was still at that age, twenty-two, where I considered myself immortal. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune – failure and tragedy – could not touch me or my family. I was about to become an adult and learn the true meaning of being a parent all in one sudden, terrifying, precious moment. The temperature was in the mid-thirties that morning, but the sun was shining, a rare event in Johnson City, New York.
