Major & Small Airports & Airport Jobs

Throughout this site we use the term "major airport" to refer to airports that have yearly enplanements above 10 million, serve international markets, and tend to be located in large metropolitan areas. Examples are LAX airport in Los Angeles and O'Hare airport in Chicago, both of which service 25 million or more passengers year and are the hubs for many airlines flying all over the globe. "Regional airports" refers to those airports that may still have international flights, but have fewer yearly enplanements than the major airports. Regional airports also tend to be serviced by fewer major airlines than the major airports and are located in either medium-sized cities like Grand Rapids, Michigan, or in smaller towns such as Bangor, Maine. As you might imagine, there are many more regional airports in the United States than major metropolitan airports.

Employment at large airports runs the gamut from security guard and tour guide to general clerical personnel. Employment at regional airports may not be as diverse as with the larger metropolitan airports. Some may not offer all the customer service or the maintenance positions of larger airports, but smaller airports still provide a good source in your job search.

Teamwork
Successful applicants must have the ability to maintain a healthy balance between the ability to work independently and as part of a team. As a team member on a flight crew, sales organization, assembly line, or office environment, you actively contribute to the team and maintain positive working relationships with all team members, in the air and on the ground. Being part of the team means you treat others fairly and with respect, while sharing resources and information with other team members. From time to time, this means seeking opportunities to help others before being asked or required. Something to keep in mind is that teamwork means, the work of the crew isn't done until every crewmember's work is done.
