Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport marks 25 Years of Navigator Volunteers!

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Navigator volunteer program.

Since its start, more than 1,800 volunteers have donated more than 1.6 million hours of service. Today, more than 400 active Navigators help guide more than 130,000 passengers each day.

Navigator volunteers put the friendly in America’s Friendliest Airport®, and we are grateful for their dedication and passion. To mark the 25th anniversary, we invite you to thank a Navigator for their dedication by sharing your experience and how they helped make your airport visit easier and more welcoming. Email your message to navigator.staff@phoenix.gov or use #ThxPHXnavigator on social media.
