Today marks the beginning of a new era in the long history of Envoy. Together with American Airlines and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), we have launched operations at the revamped Terminal E Satellite.<\/p>\n
With 15 new gates, Envoy will operate over 100 flights per day to 40 destinations. The addition of the Terminal E Satellite will help bring American\u2019s total daily departures in DFW from 800 to more than 900, just in time for the peak summer travel season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an important milestone for the Envoy family,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Velez Rubio, Envoy Vice President of DFW. \u201cOur entire team is excited to begin operating out of this beautiful space, and our employees will be a key component to our success. The day is finally here; after countless hours, hard work and dedication to opening this new terminal, we are making the dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n From executives to management to our employees working in the DFW terminals, everyone pitched in to get this ambitious project off the ground. For instance, the Talent Services recruiting team helped expedite the hiring process of the hundreds of new employees to ensure we had the best people working as soon as possible, according to Jaime Pagan, Envoy Manager Airport Services at DFW.<\/p>\n Lead Agents from Terminal B also volunteered their time to set up computers and other components in the Terminal E Satellite, because they take pride in making this a successful opening.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m excited about the challenge required to make this terminal take off,\u201d said Jaime. \u201cIt\u2019s fascinating to see so many people pull together using their unique strengths to bond together and get this show running.\u201d<\/p>\n As with a new adventure, there will be challenges, but Envoy is up for it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of hard work, but I wanted this challenge of doing something we\u2019ve never done before,\u201d said Lita Humphrey, Envoy Manager Hub Administration. \u201cI\u2019m excited about the huge growth for us and American, and the stability it will bring to our employees.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n New employees, as well as experienced ones, will have some adjustments to make in regards to reporting to their gates on time and the certain nuances of boarding each gate, or working out on the newly reconfigured ramp.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we\u2019ve all been here before,\u201d said Lead Agent Juan Calzada Vazquez. \u201cWe already know how to operate the flights, it\u2019s just transferring that knowledge into a new space. It\u2019s going to be exciting for a lot of us.\u201d<\/p>\n As Envoy continues to grow \u2013 bringing in new Embraer 175s to the fleet, operating in new stations throughout the country, and today\u2019s kick start in DFW Terminal E Satellite \u2013 we stay committed to our goal of being the world\u2019s best regional airline. Here\u2019s to making that dream come true!<\/p>\n Today marks the beginning of a new era in the long history of Envoy.
