Customer Service is our number one priority at the Akron-Canton Airport. To ensure our employees are providing the best experience possible, we have a customer service employee recognition program called "A Better Wat to Go" award. We need your help recognizing those employees who assist you in making your travel experience at Akron-Canton Airport A Better Way to Go. If you would like to share your wonderful experience with an employee, please nominate them for recognition below. 

Nominations are accepted from employees, managers and the public. All employees and tenants are eligible to receive this nomination. 

Congratulations, Christina Mills!

We’re honored to recognize Christina as 'a better way to go' award recipient.

We’re shining a spotlight on Christina for outstanding efforts to serve customers on a daily basis. During a recent experience, a traveler described an interaction with Christina as exactly what makes CAK ‘a better way to go.’ The individual stated, “On January 29th — we were traveling to Florida and stopped by Great Lakes Brewing Co. for breakfast. Christina waited on us and shared that she had been working at CAK for quite some time and loves her job. It was clear Christina’s dedication showcased exactly what CAK is all about. Serving others can many times be a thankless job. Christina made us smile as we talked with her during breakfast and got our trip off to a fantastic start."

Congratulations on being named 'a better way to go' award recipient!
