The Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA) and concessions partners at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) are collaborating on a free food initiative designed to support federal airport workers impacted by the government shutdown. Beginning this week, staff from the Federal Aviation Administration, Customs & Border Protection and Transportation Security Administration can spend up to $20 a day on food items from the Evans and McNamara terminals as part of the airport’s Federal Employee Meal Program. The program will continue through December 31 unless the shutdown is resolved prior.
“Although they are not being paid, our federal partners continue to stand beside us each day, committed to safety,” said WCAA CEO Chad Newton. “DTW’s concessionaires and the airport authority are pleased to be able to offer a small token of our appreciation.”
