We are grateful for the dedicated efforts of law enforcement agencies whose hard work led to the identification and arrest of the two individuals accused of driving vehicles into our airport terminals.

These incidents posed a serious risk to the traveling public, airport employees and first responders.

I want to especially recognize the outstanding work of our Emergency and Support Services Division, whose professionalism, expertise and commitment to public safety were instrumental throughout the investigation.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to our local, state and federal law enforcement partners for their collaboration and dedication in the investigation.
