Team YMM Spotlight on Brianna Amiot-Smith

Earls Kitchen + Bar General Manager Brianna Amiot-Smith is making the move to Chilliwack, B.C., after six years of working at the Fort McMurray International Airport.

When asked about her departure, she expressed mixed emotions. Brianna said she is excited about her next chapter but will miss the people she’s made meaningful connections with.

“I am really going to miss the staff and regulars. I love all the customers that come here,” she said. “All of the clientele at an airport restaurant are completely different from what you have at a regular restaurant, and all the people at the airport are so welcoming and friendly.”

On the YMM Runway: Phoenix Heli-Flight

Last month, the pilots of Phoenix Heli-Flight were actively engaged in flight training on the YMM runway. In the midst of welcoming new pilots, Phoenix recently had eight of its staff members celebrate ten-year work anniversaries with the company and each received a Breitling watch. FMAA extends congratulations to the Phoenix staff for achieving this significant milestone.

Team YMM takes great pride in the regular services provided by Phoenix Heli-Flight, particularly their rescue services facilitated through the Local HERO Foundation. Thanks to their swift medical assistance, search and rescue operations, and emergency transportation, the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo community is now safer.
