Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport Authority welcomes summer intern

BULLHEAD CITY – The sky is the limit for this year’s LBIA summer intern. In a highly competitive process, Victoria Omark secured the three-month opportunity to work closely with the Airport’s management team. “I’m very lucky,” Omark said. “Airport management is a hard area to get into because most jobs want you to have experience, but the majority of airport management internships require you to have a degree.
