The Atlantic Aviation family expanded this holiday season. Fifteen of our locations directly touched the hearts and lives of many by sponsoring or adopting a family that may be going through tough times and could use some relief during the holidays this year. By supporting these struggling families throughout the holiday season, our teams removed the financial burden and stress so they could genuinely enjoy the holidays with loved ones.

Atlantic Aviation Pittsburgh, PA (PIT) teamed up with the Veterans Leadership Program for the second year in a row to support Stand Down Pittsburgh, a day-long services fair for local Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Opening the eyes of nearly 60 middle school and high school kids to the opportunities in their community, Atlantic OPF hosted a National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE) event, ACE Camp. NBCFAE promotes equal employment opportunities for African American, female, and minority employees within the Federal government. NBCFAE intentionally assist the youth in setting goals, building relationships, and gaining exposure to various job opportunities. They offer students insight and hands-on experience, opening a new world full of immense possibilities. We were lucky enough to host these amazing student and organization at our Opa Locka, FL location, Atlantic OPF.

In their constant effort to remain involved and better their community, Atlantic MDW served as the commencing host site at the Chicago Midway International Airport in partnership with the Chicago Department of Aviation for Project LIFT (Leading Inspiring Future Talent).

The Adopt A Family tradition is very special to all of us here at Atlantic. The holidays are the time of year traditionally known for spending time being close with your family, cooking together and indulging in extravagant meals, or even shopping the big sales to get great deals on presents for family and friends both near and far. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case for many families in communities spanning all over the country. Many families struggle day to day to make ends meet and the holidays become stressful instead of enjoyable.
