Bluefield firm rebounding from 9/11 impact on airline market
Charlotte of America in Bluefield Virginia cut staff from over 40 to 14 as 9/11's aftermath reduced domestic airline sales. Manager Mike Fuller expects a rebound by 2005 with industry recovery and potential rehiring, while the parent Fayat Group keeps 1,000-plus machines in the U.S. and diversify into water system vessels. Local officials continue to support growth and retention.
