We had a blast at Bring Your Child to Work Day at America's Friendliest Airport® today! We wanted to hear from the kids themselves, so we asked them: What does your parent do for work at the airport? Their answers were a great highlight to the day!

The day was filled with fun activities like demonstrations from different divisions, firetrucks, Amelia the Airplane, an airfield tour, and a PHX-OPOLY game! Kids and their parents rode the PHX Sky Train® to collect stamps at various locations across the airport!✈️

With double the number of legs as humans, our PHX Navigator Buddies may have an advantage on the soccer pitch, and they also look very cute in the uniform of their favorite team! Throughout the upcoming major international soccer tournament, our Guest & Employee Experience team is inviting the Navigators to let their Navigator Buddies show off their favorite soccer flair. This week, three Buddies (Doggie Director Finn, Mr. Darcy & Tatanka) proudly represented in Terminal 4. Passengers (soccer fans and non-fans alike!) were excited to see the dogs ready to score goals. The Buddies had a lot of photos taken and got to spend some good workout time in baggage claim with their adoring fans! 🐶✈️⚽️

Some guests got lost looking for the Rental Car Center return until an airport employee helped lead the way.
The guests had no access to GPS, so they got lost shortly after leaving the airport proper. They finally found Jennifer B., an Aviation Department supervisor, who was very helpful. She understood their confusion and called for help to guide them to the rental car parking garage.
“I cannot sing her praises enough,” said the customer. “It was only thanks to Jennifer, and the gentleman who guided us that we didn't stop the car and sit in it screaming and crying.”
Thank you and your team, Jennifer, for showing compassion to a distressed customer. She was recognized by our Phoenix Sky Harbor On the FLY team (F = Friendly. L = Let me help. Y = You.)

A vendor employee responsible for helping passengers get through security stepped in to assist when one had a medical emergency.
The passenger was riding an escalator up in Terminal 3 when he fell backwards. Luckily for him, CLEAR employee Michael P. jumped into action, and alerted people he was stopping the escalator. He then redirected passengers to the elevators.
“He reacted so quickly and appropriately, I wanted to highlight this event and the good action and effort he displayed,” said the customer who nominated him for recognition.
“I’m hoping you can recognize him in some way for being a good human and helping those folks stuck in a precarious, helpless, and dangerous position.”
We can and we did by giving Michael our Phoenix Sky Harbor On the FLY award (F = Friendly. L = Let me help. Y = You.)

The Federal Aviation Administration Area Modernization Project proposes implementing new satellite-based air traffic procedures, as well as updating existing satellite-based air traffic procedures, to enhance safety and improve air traffic efficiency at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

As part of this project, the FAA has created the Phoenix Airspace Noise Mapping Tool, which provides residents with a resource to enter their address and see what their current noise level is compared to anticipated noise with the implementation of proposed new procedures.
This short video explains how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv4JbESY83s
Visit bridgenet.us/noisetool/kphx/ to use the mapping tool.

An airport employee was in the right place to assist some travelers whose car ran out of juice.
The guest’s car ran out of electrical charge, and the weather was very hot. On top of that, they had two young boys and an elderly parent with them.
David F., an operations assistant with the Aviation Department, worked diligently with the guest’s towing company and guided them through the situation.
“David was understanding, compassionate, and extremely helpful,” said the customer. “Kudos to you for hiring such an awesome team member.”
We’re always pleased to hear a visitor sing the praises of an airport employee, and for upholding our customer service mission, David has been recognized by Phoenix Sky Harbor’s On the FLY team (F = Friendly. L = Let me help. Y = You.)
