Unfortunately, we have had to issue similar notices for other airport operations around the country,” said White. “We have, though, been able to recall some employees since May to bolster our staffing as we have resumed operations. At the Syracuse airport, we are currently operating Dunkin Donuts, Middle Age South, and Middle Ages Beer Garden and are planning to reopen more outlets as travel increases.”
