Skyborne UK

Congratulations to Antonio, our Facilities Maintenance Technician at our Vero Beach, Florida Academy who is our latest Star of the Month. 💫

Recently, Antonio volunteered to step outside of his usual responsibilities during the Vero Beach Airshow, helping to transport VIP guests and ensuring they received a warm welcome and a positive experience throughout their visit. He represented Skyborne with professionalism, care and a genuine commitment to helping others.

Antonio's willingness to support different departments and step in wherever needed is something he demonstrates every day. His positive attitude, reliability, and team-first mindset consistently make a meaningful difference across the business.

Well done, Antonio!
