Airport Director Joseph McKelvey and all other airport employees lost their jobs Monday in a stunning move that turns over management of the county-owned facility to a private company.

MountainTop Technologies subsidiary MTT Aviation Services will operate the airport for $74,500 a year, under an agreement unanimously approved Monday by the Johnstown-Cambria County Airport Authority.
