SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is looking to fill about 25 positions between Syracuse Hancock International Airport and the airports that service Buffalo and Albany “within the next few months.”
Most of the openings are for part-time employees, the agency said in a Friday news release.
It’s part of a national effort to hire 6,000 TSA officers in preparation for “projected summer travel volumes.”
