On-airport car rental companies Hertz and Avis laid off a combined 277 workers during the pandemic, according to the report. Now they are looking to hire rental car sales agents and workers to prepare the vehicles for rental. Other companies looking to hire include American Airlines, FedEx Express, and Global Aviation Services.

In July, 1.7 million passengers traveled through Tampa International Airport, up from 594,415 in July 2020, according to the report.

“We are excited to see most of our passengers fly again, and we want to make sure we provide them with the service they deserve and have come to expect of the team at TPA,” John Tiliacos, Tampa Airport’s executive vice president of operations and customer service, told Tampa Bay Times.
