It is wonderful that the airport is supporting these groups, but I wonder if they could provide more direct financial aid instead of just fundraising events. Visibility is important, but these charities often need hard cash to keep their doors open.

Just another PR stunt to distract from rising airport fees. Focus on your passengers instead.

Supporting local health and disability services is a noble goal for any business. That said, I hope the airport management remembers that their primary responsibility is the safety and efficiency of airport operations first.

Fantastic news! So glad to see the airport giving back to our local community.

This program certainly boosts the airport's public image, which is good for their brand. Even if it is a marketing move, the charities themselves will benefit from the exposure, so it is hard to complain too much.

Charity is nice, but I would rather see lower parking costs for the actual travelers.
