As America celebrates its 250th year, we want to honor U.S. airline employees who have served our nation 🇺🇸✈️. U.S. airlines are proud to employ more than 50,000 veterans and servicemembers. Here are some of their stories 🧵
As a @Delta A320 Captain and Air National Guard member, Mark Hanna has spent his career serving others in and out of uniform. From disaster relief in Haiti and Texas to the 2021 Afghan evacuation , he’s seen how military and civilian aviation come together to make a difference.
This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we celebrate Mary Riddle — a member of the Clatsop and Quinault tribes who became the first enrolled woman in a Native American tribe to earn her pilot’s license in 1930. 🇺🇸✈️ #America250 #RedFlightAndBlue 📸: @airandspace

Despite rising jet fuel costs, demand for air travel remains strong. In an interview with @BloombergRadio, Sununu discussed how airlines are navigating unprecedented fuel prices, absorbing much of the added costs while working to keep flying affordable.
America's air traffic control system is getting a much-needed modernization—and the progress is happening faster than anyone expected. A4A's Sununu joined @CBSNews to discuss how new radars, surface awareness systems and radio systems are helping build a safer, more efficient system that means fewer delays and a better experience for the flying public.
