Tell Atlantic Street Capital to Bring Back Airport Workers
On November 4th, 2025, GAT/Sky Café, a company owned by Connecticut-based private equity firm Atlantic Street Capital, took over the in-flight catering operations for American Airlines at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. This change has resulted in a mass layoff of nearly 200 workers, many of whom dedicated years of service to the airport and the city with the preceding contractor, LSG Sky Chefs. Sky Café failed to rehire many of these skilled workers and would not prioritize their applications for new positions in the exact same jobs as they had before. Take Action!
