We start the morning with an analysis of the previous day, conduct a brie ng, and then we head out for new victories. Work and passengers are always a priority. That’s why it’s important that our team has an awareness that it belongs to this place; that we all have a responsibility, because it is important for passengers to know that they can always count on us,”says Mirjana.
