antarctic terminal operations

ATO, Antarctic Terminal Operations, is the department I work under in Antarctica. We specialize in anything to do with fixed wing air support. If you are wondering what we're doing to keep busy, I've pasted parts of our Christmas letter from our department head, Billy T, to give you an idea of what we've done this year so far:

Post Office: According to my office door everyone loves mail! Well I believe it since we have processed 24,779 lbs of mail [headed] off station this season. I know your more interested in how much we received. Well that number is an impressive 72,477 lbs!

Shuttles: Some passenger numbers for your pleasure...over 26,000 passengers carried and that does not include the passengers moved for flights.

Courier: A lot of walking around delivering interoffice correspondence. 4,441 runs delivering 3,039 packages.

USAP (Science) Cargo: Cargo processed so far this season is 108,963 lbs. Science cargo delivered is 781,491 lbs.

Passenger Services: Our passenger movements have totaled 3,803 passengers and the Air Services staff have always been dedicated to customer service even when that has been difficult.

Cargo: Over 8 million pounds folks. Passenger numbers are also included. Load Planners, cargo teams, and airfield crews thanks for a very productive season to date: 8,085,985 pounds of actual payload cargo and fuel.
