DRS HOLIDAY: CONTINUED CAUTION FOR 2010
Drs. Eugene HolidayPJIAE President drs. Eugene Holiday has called for continued caution in the handling of the affairs of the airport. Addressing employees at the airport company’s annual year-end party on December 19 2009, the PJIAE President forecast that 2010 will present challenges. “There will be continued economic uncertainty globally and high unemployment in the US and it is expected that 2010, like 2009 will continue to present financial economic challenges,” he said.

Repeating an appeal he made at the 2008 year-end party, he again called for continued commitment to PJIAE’s mission to be ‘A Regional Leader’. “To overcome these challenges will as I said in 2008 for 2009, depend on our collective actions. With 2009 coming to an end and 2010 - with its challenges - around the corner, I call on your continued commitment, individually and collectively, because it is only by working together that we can overcome these challenges and achieve our mission to be the best airport in the world,” he said.

He introduced a Year End Employee Recognition Program to single out a number of employees who have stood out in the past year in terms of their performance, dedication and leadership through 2009.

The PJIAE President commended the workers for contributing to PJIAE successfully navigating through a difficult 2009. “We were successful thanks to the continued input and effort of you the employees of PJIAE. Without the daily contribution of every single one of you, our company would not be what it is, that is: “A Regional Leader in Providing Airport Services,” he said, extending sincere appreciations for workers’ contributions and input in 2009 towards keeping PJIAE safe and secure and for their support in making projects such as the relocation of the road north of the terminal building and the preparations for the start of the RESA works in 2010 possible.

Drs. Holiday said that through October 2009 PJIAE has seen business decline, with passenger and aircraft movements declining by 9% and 14% respectively. “The decline is a result of the negative effect of the global financial economic recession on the demand for travel,” he said.

He added that it was because of the conservative and prudent management approach, with emphasis on safe, secure, efficient and effective operations that PJIAE has been able to absorb this large fallout in business. “It is therefore essential that we continue to be conservative and prudent in the management and operations of the affairs of our airport.”
