  • Leif Feige is On The Fly!
    Jun 2 2026

    On this episode of On The Fly, your host Angel Matson interviews Leif Feige, BGR's Interim Chief Dispatcher. As chief, he's got a lot of responsibilities: he and his 5-man team handle all the flight schedules, any emergencies, and the security needed day to day. All information that passes through the airport passes through them, and someone is always in the chair– 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A job like that gets you many stories to tell, and Leif has more than enough to fill this first-class episode. Leif's story and more are ready to take off On The Fly!
