Esmée: Marketing & Communication projectmanager at Lelystad Airport

50th anniversary

As a colleague at the Marketing & Communications department of Lelystad Airport, I am proud to be part of our 50th anniversary project. Together with my colleague Kim Schutte, I organise various events for our anniversary year.

It is inspiring and dynamic to see how our efforts have led to greater awareness that Lelystad Airport has been open for 50 years and that it is the largest General Aviation airport in the Netherlands. You hear many people say ‘when will the airport be open?’, but we have been open for 50 years! At such moments, it is extra motivating for me to exclaim even louder what a great airport we are.

 

Teamskip

The team spirit, or ‘Teamskip’ as we call it, with my colleagues is invaluable to me, we are proud to the bone, laugh a lot and work hard at and around our airport.
