November 2015 airportbusiness 33 Steve Lanieri's eyes have been fixed toward the sky since the day he was born. His passion for aviation began as a toddler riding in the chase vehicle of his uncle's hot-air balloon crew. By the age of 14, Lanieri was working in the airport management and flight school office at Solberg Airport. In his spare time, he took private pilot lessons, was certified as an EMT and became an Eagle Scout. Between semesters at Daniel Webster College, Lanieri interned in Airport Operations at New Jersey's Morristown and Teterboro airports, helping him become an AAAE certified member while still in college. Lanieri graduated at the top of his aviation management class, and was hired as a communications specialist/EMT with Boston MedFlight, where he coordinat- ed emergency critical care missions. From there, he was recruited by the Massachusetts Port Authority in the Airport Communications Center at Boston Logan International Airport and handled logistics for international flight operations, dispatched fire/rescue assets and supported airport operations and security functions. Within a few years, Lanieri was promoted to his current position as airport operations shift manager at Hanscom Field. Here Lanieri manages airside and landside operations, safety and security duties, and directs airport maintenance activities under FAA Part 139 and TSR 1542 directives. DID YOU KNOW? At 14, LANIERI joined the fight against town officials to keep the family-run hometown airport open. Stephen J.
