One of the youngest members of the Airways Freight team, Jake Oskey is holding his own in the Night Operations Department. From tracking shipments to supporting customers with their freight, Jake puts his all into everything he does.
Jake started his journey with Airways in January of 2017, working part-time in the Trade Show department entering data into the system. After graduating in May, he subsequently moved to full-time Night Operations and has been there since. What he loves most about working at Airways, is the positivity shown by his colleagues and the wonderful team morale they share. One of his favorite things about working on the night crew is assisting new employees in their nightly tasks, as well as offering assistance whenever needed.
Born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, Jake grew up in Farmington. His childhood was abundant with fond memories of playing video games with his brother and the many friends they had. At the age of 6, Jake began playing football, and by high school was the smallest linebacker in 5A, he and his team won all conference. One of the things he is most proud of is that he can also throw a football close to 60 yards!
Jake and his wife Kyle have been married for a little over a year. They share two beagles, an 8-month-old named Chloe and a 2-month-old named Colt. They love spending time with family and in his spare time he picked up the guitar as a hobby.
Jake has never been out of the country, but someday would love to travel. He is very social and enjoys helping others. His favorite quote is by Vince Lombardi “Winners never quit, and quitters never win”.
Whether it’s tossing a football or tracking a shipment, Jake always gives 100%. He strives daily to learn as much as he can about the industry and Airways Freight and we are very proud of his endeavors.

As enthusiastic as the day she walked through the front door at Airways Freight, Suzanne Lencowski never thought she would still be working at the same great company she had heard about 28 years earlier! Responsible for making sure our customer’s trade show booths make it to their given shows on time and overseeing their return, Suzanne’s work ethic and dedication have been an essential part of the Trade Show Division. As a Special Accounts Manager, one of her favorite things about Airways is the daily challenges she encounters as well as the comradery shared by her colleagues.
Born in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Suzanne was raised a Navy brat. Moving to various locations during her early childhood, her family decided it was time to move back to Northwest Arkansas, and she has been there ever since. Suzanne likes to spend her free time cooking and doing arts and crafts. She loves spending time with her son Andrew and her grandson Lucas. She has an extreme soft spot for animals and would love to be able to rescue them all.
One of Suzanne’s favorite quotes is “Life never hands you more than you can handle, no matter what you think”. One of her most notable accomplishments to this point in life, has been raising a responsible child that knows the meaning of hard work.
She is determined, loyal and survivor. Her dedication to Airways is unsurpassed and she will most assuredly be working at Airways Freight until she decides to retire.

For the past fifteen years, Jodie McCleland has been a loyal employee in the Accounts Payable department at Airways Freight. From collecting charges and POD’s (proof of delivery’s) to managing the accounts payable of major vendors, Jodie is responsible for taking care of any discrepancies that may arise, which allows the freight to keep moving smoothly.
What she loves most about Airways is the team she works with in Accounts Payable and the camaraderie she shares with the rest of her colleagues. She admires the support they give to their employees and the willingness to help when needed.
While previously working as a CSA Supervisor for ASA/Delta Airlines, Jodie was checking-in some freight for Airways when someone had mentioned there was an opening. After the events of 911 and the recent move of the airport to a different location, she decided it was time for a change.
Born in Canoga Park California, Jodie grew up an Army brat. Upon her father’s retirement, they decided to place their roots in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Growing up on a small hog farm, raising pigs, rabbits and horses, Jodie enjoyed country life. Her childhood consisted of running through the fields and enjoying nature.
Jodie has three boys, one daughter-in-law and five grandkids. When she has spare time, she enjoys baking and has made beautifully decorated and decadent desserts. In 2016 she and her niece won the Grand Champion ribbon at the Washington County Fair for her Raspberry Cream Cheese rolls. When she is not baking, she also loves to country dance.
She is bold and charismatic, and her presence fills a room. Her work ethic and take-charge attitude have been an integral part of her career at Airways, and we are glad she is a part of our team.
