When deplaning, @syracuseairport travelers can now When deplaning, @syracuseairport travelers can now walk up to a new set of automatic exit portal doors in one of the terminals and get to their final destination seamlessly. Arriving in #Syracuse just got easier and safer when coming through the airport. The new exit lane technology offers a more efficient way to leave the airport, enhancing the customer experience. Mayor Walsh joined Executive Director Jason Terreri, Board Chair Jo Anne Gagliano and Congressman John Katko to unveil the new portals. The million dollar-plus project was made possible with funding the airport received from the CARES Act back in April. Thank you to everyone involved who played a role in making this improvement happen. đź‘Ź
