Congratulating Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport's achievement in being voted the best domestic airport by Travel & Leisure magazine.

Since its first flight took off in 1918, the Savannah Airport has served the American people and our military in connecting them to the rest of the country. Today, this airport serves 11 different airlines with 37 nonstop destinations all across the U.S.

``A lovely jewel of an airport'' and ``a very nice surprise'' were just a few things visitors and residents had to say about the Savannah/ Hilton Head International Airport.

From local favorites like Leopold's Ice Cream to easily navigated terminals, you can expect to receive Georgia hospitality with every connecting flight.

Every day, I am more and more proud of the district that I represent. We can't stop winning.

Congratulations to the staff, TSA workers, and everyone else involved at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport on this tremendous achievement.
