The Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC) Foundation has welcomed Vantage Airport Group’s Sade Olanipekun-Lewis, Vice President, Operating & Community Partnerships, to its Board of Directors.

The AMAC Foundation works alongside AMAC and advances minorities and women pursuing careers in the aviation industry by developing educational programs and providing scholarships to students who are emerging aviation professionals. Since 1997, the AMAC Foundation has awarded more than $500,000 in scholarships.

Sade leads the development and implementation of all community and organizational partnerships in support of Vantage’s airport and infrastructure development projects, with a particular focus on the development of a new Terminal 6 at JFK. She’s also a leader in MWBE engagement at Vantage’s airport and terminal projects across the U.S., including Chicago Midway and Kansas City International’s new terminal concession programs.

Sade offers the Foundation deep expertise in aviation, public infrastructure, and government relations from prior executive leadership roles at American Airlines and Philadelphia International Airport.
